Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Corvalol K is a soothing and antispasmodic agent whose action as a complex preparation is determined by its constituent components.

Ethyl ester of α-bromizovaleric acid has a reflex calming and spasmolytic effect due to irritation mainly 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 activity of the central vasomotor centers and direct local spasmolytic effect on the smooth muscles of the vessels.

Validol or a solution of menthol in the menthyl ester of isovaleric acid has a sedative as well as a moderate coronary expansive effect due to action on the sensory nerve receptors of the oral mucosa.

Mint oil contains essential oils, about 50% menthol and 4-9% menthol esters. They are able to irritate the "cold" receptors of the oral cavity and reflexively dilate the blood vessels of the heart and brain, to cause a calming and mild choleretic effect. Peppermint oil has an antiseptic, antispasmodic effect, the ability to eliminate flatulence. Irritating the receptors of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, enhances the intestinal peristalsis.

Hop oil has a reflex vasodilator and spasmolytic effect, eliminates the phenomena of flatulence.
