Persen Cardio
The instructions for use of Persen Cardio are pleasing, at least because it has a different composition, although it is also a herbal preparation.
It is produced by two companies - Sandoz and Lek, so the appearance of the packaging may be different.
Active ingredients: hawthorn extract, passionflower herb. Despite the prefix “cardio”, the annotation does not take us far from other “persons”. The indications are again nervous excitability and irritability, plus vegetative-vascular dystonia and functional disruptions in the heart (frequent manifestations of the above-mentioned excitability and irritability).
Among the purely cardiac indications is a slight increase in blood pressure. That is, not clinical hypertension, but another flashback to neurotic disorders.
Persen Forte
The difference with the previous drug is minimal. The composition is identical. Night Persen's capsules are almost red, with granules inside. In Forte they are brown, with a compressed composition inside.
There are some discrepancies in the instructions. Forte is recommended not only for nighttime, but also for daytime problems - the same irritability, increased nervous excitability... Although in general, of course, it is not clear how two drugs with the same composition can act differently on the body.
