"Grandaxin": analogues and substitutes, instructions for use, reviews

In the article we will look at the instructions and analogues for the drug “Grandaxin”.

It is a tranquilizer containing the substance tofisopam, which is a benzodiazepine derivative. This drug is produced in Hungary in tablet form. "Grandaxin" is considered a daytime tranquilizer, taken in the first half of the day.

This medicine appeared in our country relatively recently, but has already established itself as a reliable and effective medicine. Doctors of various specialties use this drug in their medical practice. This drug is dispensed from pharmacies with a doctor's prescription.

But there are analogues of Grandaxin that can be purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription. They will be presented below.

When is it appointed?

Grandaxin has many indications and is successfully used to treat the following diseases:

• Depressive states.
• For nervousness during the premenstrual period.
• Against the background of pain in the heart area, provoked by a psycho-emotional state.
• During the transition period to the menopausal phase.
• For neuroses and neurosis-like conditions, manifested by symptoms such as apathy, depression, obsessive fears and anxiety.
• For the treatment of alcohol withdrawal.
• For conditions requiring anxiolytic adjustment without a pronounced muscle relaxant effect.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that Grandaxin works particularly well when taken by women rather than by men. This may be due to the fact that most of the available indications for the use of this drug are for women and with hormonal changes in the fairer sex.

Other effective drug substitutes

Substitutes for Grandaxin are available on the pharmacological market, which share the same therapeutic direction with it.

Adaptol

Adaptol is an anticonvulsant drug based on tramethyltetraazabicyclooctanedione. The medicine is prepared in tablets. The drug has a moderate tranquilizing and anti-anxiety effect, which relieves the feeling of nervous and emotional overstrain, the feeling of constant anxiety, fear and anxiety.

Adverse reactions

At the end of the article, we will consider reviews and analogues.

The instructions for Grandaxin indicate that the dosage of this drug should be selected taking into account individual characteristics. It is recommended to take the medication in the first half of the day. This is directly related to the presence of a stimulant effect on the drug, which can cause sleep disturbances. The drug is prescribed in a course that is selected by the doctor for each patient personally. Uncontrolled use of the drug or incorrectly selected dosage can lead to undesirable reactions in therapy. Such reactions include:

• The appearance of disturbances in the functioning of the digestive organs in the form of nausea, dry mouth, flatulence and liver problems.
• The functioning of the nervous system may be accompanied by increased excitability, and, in addition, headaches, sleep disturbances, and the like. In particularly severe cases, confusion may occur. Often, patients may complain of insomnia, especially when the drug is taken in the afternoon. Patients who suffer from epilepsy may experience seizures.
• Other adverse reactions include skin itching of an allergic nature, along with various rashes, muscle soreness and tension.

As practice shows, with adequate use of this drug, side effects are rarely observed. As a rule, this drug is very well tolerated, without requiring discontinuation of treatment. The exception is reactions associated with drug intolerance, since these conditions imply a serious danger to the patient's health.

Grandaxin analogs also cause side effects.

Reviews on the choice of Grandaxin analogues

Reviews about structural analogues of Grandaxin and about itself are generally positive. Patients note the low toxicity of the drug to the body.

Petrov A.S., psychiatrist: “Treatment of mental disorders in patients requires a special approach to treatment. Grandaxin is an effective remedy; it can be used both in monotherapy and in combination. But this drug may cause drowsiness, although not all patients experience this. In this case, it is better to prescribe Atarax, it also improves memory.”

Lyudmila, 35 years old: “A couple of months ago, after severe stress, neurosis appeared and panic attacks began. The doctor prescribed me Adaptol. But I had to return to a specialist again, since this drug is expensive and the course of treatment costs a significant amount. Grandaxin is what you need. And the price is reasonable, and I got rid of my anxiety quite quickly, and didn’t notice any side effects.”

Grandaxin is an effective antipsychotic that is used in psychiatry, dermatology and neurology. The treatment regimen is prescribed by a doctor, who can also select effective analogues of the drug.

Contraindications for use

When should this medicine not be used? In fact, there are not many such situations. These include:

• The presence of hypersensitivity to the components of the dosage form.
• The development of pathological conditions accompanied by increased nervousness, and at the same time psychomotor agitation or deep depression.
• In the presence of apnea syndrome in amnesia.
• Against the background of respiratory failure at the stage of decompensation.
• Against the background of simultaneous treatment with drugs such as Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus and Sirolimus.
• During gestation at the beginning of pregnancy.

How is the drug prescribed?

When choosing Grandaxin, doctors, as a rule, take into account the presence of certain contraindications and decide whether to prescribe this drug or replace it with other medications. Immediately before prescribing the medication, the specialist conducts a detailed survey along with an examination of the patient. In the treatment of neuroses and neurosis-like conditions in order to eliminate anxiety, obsessive fear and other symptoms, in addition to Grandaxin, other medications are used. One of them is Afobazol.

Next, let's move on to considering analogues of Grandaxin.

The advantage of "Grandaxin"

The cost of this medication often forces patients to look for a more adequate replacement. The pharmacological industry produces a number of drugs with an identical mechanism of action. But it is worth considering that the choice must be as safe as possible. "Grandaxin" differs from its substitutes in the following:

• This medication does not cause dependence or addiction in patients.
• This medicine is not prohibited for use by pregnant women, with the exception of late pregnancy.
• "Grandaxin" does not cause poisoning when used while intoxicated.
• This medication has mild side effects and is easily tolerated by most patients.

You should definitely pay attention to these features when choosing drugs that cost less, since they may not have the same therapeutic effects.

So, let’s name a list of tablets with a similar effect, first of all, this is “Adaptol” along with “Phenibut”, “Phenazepam”, “Afobazol” and “Neurol”. These are just some of the medications that can replace Grandaxin. Analogues do not always have a similar effect. Therefore, it is advisable to read their instructions before making a choice.

What to replace the drug with?

In accordance with the instructions for use of Grandaxin, this medicine is strictly contraindicated in patients with pronounced psychomotor agitation, and in addition, in case of respiratory decompensated failure and at the beginning of pregnancy. When using the drug without observing the above contraindications, the risks of severe consequences, including death, are quite high.

Some over-the-counter analogues of Grandaxin have a similar effect, but with less pronounced side symptoms. For example, the drug Afobazol has a similar tranquilizing effect, since its active substance is the same as Grandaxin. True, Afobazol is more expensive. Another analogue is “Adaptol”. It is classified as a daytime tranquilizer; this analogue can cause sleep disturbances and increased nervousness. The effect of this substitute is not so strong, and this medicine has a cumulative effect.

Phenibut is a strong sedative used immediately before surgery. This drug causes very strong drowsiness, and produces the opposite effect compared to Grandaxin. Phenibut should not be used if there is apathy or intolerance to its components.

Next, we will consider these analogues cheaper than Grandaxin in more detail.

"Afobazol" and "Grandaxin"

"Afobazol" like "Grandaxin" is classified as an anxiolytic. This drug is produced in tablets and is usually prescribed for a twenty-day course. This period is needed to achieve the maximum pharmacological effect. The active ingredient of this medicine is fabomotizole. Afobazole is used in the presence of anxiety disorders, against the background of neurasthenia and adaptation disorders.

Since this analogue of Grandaxin can be purchased without a prescription, it is very popular.

What analogues can you buy without a prescription?

You can purchase the medicine only if you have a prescription written by your doctor. It is impossible to find this drug on the open market. However, there are a number of its substitutes, which are sold over-the-counter in pharmacies. It is worth considering that almost all of these analogues have a lesser therapeutic effect on the human psyche.

So, you can find the following medications on the open market that have a similar therapeutic effect to Grandaxin:

• Valerian extract.
• Melissa officinalis preparations.
• Valevigran.
• Ration.
• Motherwort tincture.

"Atarax" and "Grandaxin"

Another equally popular analogue is the drug Atarax. This medicine contains a substance called hydroxyzine. This component has anxiolytic activity. Atarax is produced in two forms, namely tablets and a solution for injection into the muscle. Unlike Afobazole and Grandaxin, this substitute exhibits a more pronounced sedative effect.

An additional feature of Atarax is the presence of nootropic properties, manifested in concentration and memory improvement. This anxiolytic is prescribed in the presence of internal emotional tension, anxiety disorder, somatic diseases, and, in addition, against the background of alcohol withdrawal. "Atarax" can also be used during the period of preparation for surgical interventions as part of premedication.

This is confirmed by the instructions for the Grandaxin analogue.

Cost of Grandaxin and its analogues

Prices for Grandaxin are in the middle price segment. Foreign analogues are more expensive than Grandaxin, and some of its Russian generics are 3-4 times cheaper.

"Phenibut" and "Grandaxin"

Sometimes Grandaxin can be replaced with aminophenylbutyric acid medicine, namely Phenibut. True, the differences between these medications are quite significant. "Phenibut" manifests itself as an effective nootropic agent. It is often prescribed for the treatment of diseases that are associated with decreased attention, memory and other functions of the nervous system.

In some cases, Phenibut can be used to treat anxiety disorders and neuroses. "Phenibut" is one of the drugs that are approved and recommended for use in pediatrics.

In fact, it is very difficult to say exactly which of the above medications is the best. The common advantage of all the previously mentioned medications is that they do not have properties that create physical and mental dependence. But, nevertheless, any drugs that affect the psyche and nervous system should be prescribed only by specialists. This applies to analogues of Grandaxin.

List of cheaper substitutes

When it comes to long-term use of any drug, then, of course, patients are concerned about the financial aspect of treatment, because they will have to allocate a certain amount for tablets every month. The natural desire is to undergo a course of therapy using a budget medicine. It is worth noting that a cheaper price will not always mean lower quality.

• Phenazepam.
• Phenibut.
• Afobazol.
• Gidazepam.
• Sibazon.
• Ration.
• Apaurin.

Patient reviews

Patients in their reviews indicate that while taking Grandaxin, the drug is well tolerated and has a pronounced effectiveness. "Grandaxin" is effective in cases where neither valerian extracts nor various herbal sedatives help people.

The effect, as patients write, occurs quickly, after three days. But, as reported in reviews, when taking this medication there are side effects. For example, patients report feeling nauseated. It is not recommended that people combine the use of this drug with alcohol; it is reported that in this case, after an hour, they feel unwell along with a severe headache.

According to doctors, this drug, provided that the prescribed dosages are strictly followed, has a pronounced therapeutic effect and causes minimal side reactions.

We reviewed the instructions for use and analogues for the “Grandaxin” product.

Reviews

• Oleg, 36 years old. Due to mental disorders I took Stresam, it had an effect, but still many symptoms still bothered me. The doctor switched me to Grandaxin, I was completely satisfied with this drug.
• Natalya, 27 years old. Against the backdrop of serious emotional trauma associated with the divorce, I developed very strong anxiety and nervousness (although before that I had always been a very balanced person). My health deteriorated so much that I had to see a doctor. At first I was prescribed Phenibut, but it made me very drowsy, which prevented me from working normally. The effect was good though. Therefore, we switched to Grandaxin, it really helped me well, and the drowsiness disappeared almost immediately.
