Indications

Functional disorders of the cardiovascular system (including cardialgia, sinus tachycardia).
Neuroses accompanied by irritability, anxiety, fear.
Insomnia (difficulty falling asleep).
States of excitement accompanied by pronounced vegetative reactions.

Pharmacological effect

Valocordin is a combination drug, the therapeutic effect of which is determined by the pharmacological properties of the components included in its composition.

Phenobarbital has a sedative and mild hypnotic effect. Helps reduce excitation of the central nervous system and facilitates the onset of natural sleep.

Ethyl bromizovalerate has a sedative, hypnotic and antispasmodic effect.

Special instructions

If it is necessary to prescribe the drug during lactation, the issue of stopping breastfeeding should be decided.

The drug contains 55 volume % ethanol (the absolute content of ethanol in the maximum single dose (30 drops) is 0.469 grams) and phenobarbital, so Valocordin, even when used correctly, can weaken the ability of patients to react quickly in certain situations, such as, for example, when staying on the street or when servicing cars. This is especially pronounced when taking alcohol at the same time.

With prolonged use of the drug, the formation of drug dependence is possible; it is possible to accumulate bromine in the body and develop poisoning with it.

Rarely: if hypersensitivity occurs, skin reactions may occur.

If any side (unusual) effects occur that are not listed in the instructions, you must report them to your doctor.

Interaction

When Valocordin is used simultaneously with sedatives, the effect is enhanced.

Simultaneous use with neuroleptics and tranquilizers enhances, and with stimulants of the central nervous system, weakens the effect of each of the components of the drug. Alcohol enhances the effects of Valocordin and may increase its toxicity.

The presence of phenobarbital in Valocordin can induce microsomal liver enzymes, and this makes its simultaneous use with drugs that are metabolized in the liver undesirable, since their concentration and, accordingly, effectiveness will change as a result of more accelerated metabolism (indirect anticoagulants, antibiotics, sulfonamides, etc.).

Phenobarbital weakens the effect of coumarin derivatives, glucocorticosteroids, griseofulvin, and oral contraceptives.
