Vegetrox, tablets 15 mg 10 pcs

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Alpha-adrenoblocker

ATX code: C02CA

Pharmacodynamics:

Proroxan has hypotensive and antipruritic effects. It blocks postsynaptic alpha1- and presynaptic alpha2-adrenoreceptors regardless of their localization. It has a peripheral and central effect. It decreases the sensitivity of adrenoreceptors to adrenaline by changing the permeability of cell membranes. Reduces the intensity of stimulation of hypothalamic structures by reducing the release of tropic hormones of peripheral gland hormones. Weakens the transmission of adrenergic vasoconstrictor impulses eliminates spasm and dilates peripheral vessels especially arterioles and precapillaries. Improves blood supply to the muscles of the skin and mucous membranes. Inhibits excitability of diencephalic brain structures and regulates sympathoadrenal system tone.

Pharmacokinetics:

Indications

– Somatoform vegetative dysfunction of the sympathoadrenal type, including increased blood pressure (as symptomatic treatment in combination therapy);

– allergic dermatitis (as symptomatic treatment in combination therapy to relieve itching).

Active ingredient

Composition

1 tablet contains:

the active ingredient:

proxan hydrochloride 0.015 g;

excipients:

lactose monohydrate 0.078 g,

potato starch 0.005 g,

talc 0.001 g,

magnesium stearate 0.001 g.

How to take, the dosage

In somatoform vegetative dysfunction of the sympathoadrenal type in the complex therapy is prescribed 15-30 mg (1-2 tablets) orally 2-3 times a day. The duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician.

In case of allergic dermatitis in complex therapy it is recommended to be prescribed 15-30 mg (1-2 tablets) orally before sleep. The duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician.

Interaction

The concomitant use of proxane and adrenaline may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the latter (development of a depressor effect instead of a pressor effect). Concomitant use with hypotensive agents leads to mutual enhancement of the effect of blood pressure reduction.

It enhances the effect of neuroleptics (phenothiazine derivatives butyrophenone diphenylbutylpiperidine thioxanthene).

With co-administration with novocainamide there may be a decrease in the stroke volume of the heart.

Special Instructions

Particulars of action of the drug at the first dose:

The first dose of the drug may cause a sharp decrease in blood pressure fainting headache weakness palpitations and deterioration of the subjective state (“first-dose phenomenon”) which is not a reason to cancel the drug as this effect disappears when taking it again. Drowsiness is also noted, with the sensation of numbness of the tongue passing quickly. In addition, it is recommended to monitor the blood glucose concentration due to a possible increase in the level of endogenous insulin. In this regard, it is necessary to begin treatment under medical supervision with the minimum effective dose and to observe bed rest for 6-8 hours after taking the drug.

When taking the drug, it is not recommended to drive vehicles and perform other potentially dangerous activities requiring increased concentration and quick psychomotor reactions.
