pharmachologic effect
Herbal remedy based on hawthorn fruits, valerian roots, motherwort. The pharmacological effect is ensured by the complex action of several active components: iridoids, valeric acid, valepotriates, essential oils, glycosides, flavonoids.
The drug has hypotonic and sedative effects.
Valerian
Valepotriates and valeric acid are characterized by antispasmodic effects . The biologically active components that make up valerian expand the lumen of the coronary arteries and blood vessels and slow down the heart . Thanks to valerian, the onset of sleep is normalized according to a natural mechanism, the excitability of the nervous system is reduced, and the work of the central nervous system is inhibited.
A moderate choleretic effect is noted, and an increase in the activity of the digestive tract is recorded.
Hawthorn
Active components (hyperoside, hyperin, quercetin, vitexin and other flavonoids) eliminate dizziness , improve cerebral and coronary circulation, suppress myocardial excitability, improving its contractility.
There is a suppression of the excitability of the nervous system and normalization of the heart rate (pulse). Hawthorn is characterized by the effects of third class antiarrhythmics.
There is a stabilization of venous pressure, a decrease in total blood pressure , a selective expansion of the lumen of the vessels of the brain and heart muscle, an antispasmodic effect, an improvement in the functional state of the vascular walls, in particular an increase in the elasticity of arterioles.
Experimental studies have shown that hawthorn is capable of exhibiting an antiatherosclerotic effect .
Motherwort
Exhibits a negative cardiotonic, chronotropic effect. Motherwort preparations are characterized by hypotensive and sedative effects.
Tricardin
Name: Tricardin Pharmacological action: Tricardin belongs to the cardiological group of drugs and also has sedative properties. The effect of the drug on the body is due to the properties of the complex of active substances of the root and rhizomes of valerian, motherwort and hawthorn fruits. The active ingredients of valerian reduce the degree of excitability of the central nervous system, reduce irritability and mental stress during overload and mental fatigue, and have antispasmodic, hypnotic and sedative effects. Also, they enhance the effect of drugs that cause depression of the central nervous system (tranquilizers, sleeping pills, etc.). Also, valerian has a choleretic and vasodilating effect, slows down the heart rate, and increases gastric secretion.
Motherwort also has a depressant effect on the central nervous system, reducing its excitability. It helps normalize blood pressure and has a beneficial effect on sleep disorders. Just like valerian, it potentiates the effect of drugs that cause depression of the central nervous system. Hawthorn fruits have antispasmodic, cardioprotective and hypotensive effects. Hawthorn increases the intensity of coronary circulation and blood supply to the brain, increases the power of contraction of the heart muscle, while simultaneously reducing its excitability. It potentiates the medicinal properties of cardiac glycosides.
Indications for use: Cardiovascular disorders of a functional nature (vegetoneurosis, neurocirculatory dystonia). Also, as a sedative in case of insomnia or nervous agitation.
Directions for use: Tricardin heart drops are prescribed for internal use in children over 12 years of age and adults in a volume of up to 20-30 drops three times a day, half an hour before meals.
