Corwaldine is a soothing and antispasmodic drug, the action of which is determined by its constituent components.

Ethyl ester of α-bromizovaleric acid has sedative and spasmolytic effects due to irritation of the receptors of the oral cavity and nasopharynx, a decrease in reflex excitability in the central parts of the nervous system and an increase in inhibition in neurons of the cortex and subcortical structures of the brain, as well as a decrease in the activity of the vasomotor centers and direct local antispasmodic action on the smooth muscles of the vessels.

Phenobarbital inhibits the stimulating effect of the centers of the reticular formation on the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres. Calming, tranquilizing and hypnotic effects depend on the dose of the drug.

Mint oil and hop oil have a reflex vasodilator and spasmolytic effect, irritating the "cold" receptors of the oral cavity, have choleretic and spasmolytic effects and eliminate the phenomena of flatulence.

Ethyl alcohol enhances the effects of each of the components.

The duration of the drug is determined by the doctor depending on the clinical effect and the tolerability of the drug.

Overdose.

Overdose is possible with frequent or prolonged use of the drug, which is due to the cumulation of its components. Long-term and constant use causes dependence, withdrawal syndrome, psychomotor agitation. A sudden discontinuation of the drug may cause withdrawal symptoms.

Symptoms of overdose: central nervous system depression, confusion, dizziness, ataxia, drowsiness, down to deep sleep. In severe cases of poisoning - violation of breathing, tachycardia, arrhythmia, lowering blood pressure, collapse, coma.

Side effects.

Corvaldin, as a rule, well tolerated. In some cases, there may be side effects:

from the cardiovascular system: slowing of the heart rate.

These phenomena are eliminated by reducing the dose.

With prolonged use, there may be a dependence on the drug and the phenomenon of bromism. Symptoms: depression of the central nervous system, depression, apathy, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, acne, hemorrhagic diathesis, impaired coordination, confusion.

Interaction with other drugs and other types of interactions.

Drugs that have a depressing effect on the central nervous system, strengthen the action of Corvaldine. The presence of phenobarbital in the drug can induce liver enzymes, so it is undesirable to use it together with drugs that are metabolized in the liver (coumarin derivatives, griseofulvin, glucocorticoids, oral contraceptives), as their effectiveness will decrease as a result of a higher metabolic rate.

Corvaldin enhances the action of local anesthetics, analgesics and hypnotics, this is due to the content of barbituric acid derivatives.
