Pharmacological action
Tabex – N-cholinomimetic. A herbal preparation containing an alkaloid, isolated from the plant Cytisus laburnum (broom). The mechanism of action is similar to nicotine, but differs in greater therapeutic breadth.
Stimulates the nicotinic receptors of the autonomic ganglia, irritates the carotid sinus chemoreceptors, and causes the adrenaline to be released from the adrenal glands. Increases blood pressure and stimulates respiration in a reflexive way.
When smoking with Tabex, the effect of nicotine is combined with the effect of cytisine, which leads to the appearance of unpleasant symptoms of nicotine overdose. This makes the patient gradually stop smoking, without experiencing withdrawal symptoms, as the action of nicotine is replaced by the action of cytisine.
