Release form and composition of the drug
The medicine can be found on pharmacy shelves only in liquid form, that is, in the form of drops for oral use. The liquid has a dark brown color and a pronounced aroma of medicinal plants.
It is packaged in glass bottles of 25 ml. There are also volumes of 50 and 100 ml, but they are less popular if the drug is used to treat children. Each bottle is placed in an individual cardboard box and equipped with a dropper for easy dosing. In addition, in the box you can find instructions that similarly describe all the features of use and dosage regimen.
The composition contains several active components, due to which the therapeutic effect is achieved:
- Peppermint and chamomile extract.
- Extract from lemon balm and linden.
- Concentrated oregano extract.
It is due to the mixture of these components that the therapeutic effect is achieved. Auxiliary ingredients do not have beneficial properties, but are used to preserve the chemical composition of the product during its shelf life. Additionally, the composition contains glycerin, citric acid and magnesium lactate. The product contains sodium acetate as a preservative.
The amount of active and additional components per 1 ml of product is the same and does not depend on the volume of the bottle.
Pharmacological properties
Bayu-Bai drops for children, reviews of which are often contradictory, have pronounced sedative and hypnotic properties. The combination of several medicinal herbs helps to influence certain centers in the brain that are responsible for normal sleep.
As a result, the process of falling asleep is facilitated and the child’s general condition is improved due to deep, restful sleep.
Additionally, the medicine has immunostimulating properties, helps the body fight various diseases and prevent their progression. The choleretic and diuretic effect of the drug was noted, stimulating the elimination of toxins and harmful components from the body.
It is worth noting that the medicine has mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which are due to the presence of medicinal chamomile in the extract. Drops also help eliminate mild pain in the stomach, headaches and toothaches.
There is a positive effect of the product on digestion and the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
The drug also relieves smooth muscle spasms, which has a positive effect on the condition of the stomach and intestines. The complex effect on the body helps to cope with various sleep disorders, as well as some other disorders that accompany anxiety, restlessness and insomnia.
How effective are Bayu-Bai baby calming drops?
Of all the possible uses, these drops can be really effective during overexcitation of the baby, not associated with any disease of the nervous system, or in the complex treatment of alopecia, vegetative-vascular dystonia, allergic dermatitis or neurotic conditions. These drops are not a sleeping pill, they only have a calming effect. In addition, this dietary supplement is not a medicine; it does not cure the underlying disease, but provides symptomatic assistance. That is, if the baby is overexcited while playing, for example, in kindergarten, then Bayu-Bai drops will not help him calm down. However, if there is any disorder of the nervous system, then the dietary supplement will provide only symptomatic temporary help, but will not lead to a complete recovery. In case of sleep disturbance, Bayu-Bai drops are ineffective if this condition is caused by serious diseases.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The pharmacological agent produces a therapeutic effect almost immediately after ingestion. This is due to the good absorption of active components into the blood from the stomach and small intestine.
Plant substances distribute well through the systemic bloodstream, bind to blood proteins and exert a therapeutic effect, reaching centers in the brain responsible for controlling the emotional state.
As a result, nervousness and anxiety are eliminated, sleep and the general condition of the patient are normalized. The product belongs to the group of biologically active food additives, therefore it has a complex effect on the body.
Mint extract has a mild sedative property. When it enters the body, the transmission of nerve impulses to cells slows down, which leads to the elimination of causeless fear and anxiety.
However, the remedy is effective not only for unspecified anxiety, but also for neuroses that are associated with the chronic course of dermatological diseases, as well as somatic disorders.
There is an increase in the effect of mint extract when combined with an extract from lemon balm leaves. The component prolongs the sedative effect of the medication and has a gentle effect on the central nervous system.
Chamomile extract has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, helps improve the functioning of all internal organs. As a result, the condition normalizes if the disorders were associated with somatic disorders.
Additionally, chamomile has a mild sedative effect, which persists only at night, but does not impair concentration during the day. It is noted that when taking the medicine, memory and concentration improve, and mental performance increases in adults and children of different ages.
The presence of oregano and linden extract in the composition allows the product to normalize blood pressure and body temperature, reduce heart rate, which increases with neuroses, insomnia and anxiety syndrome.
The complex effect of the product is considered relatively safe for the body. The supplement is not addictive like synthetic medications. This advantage makes it the most preferred option for children.
After oral use, the components of the product are quickly absorbed into the blood and have a therapeutic effect. The maximum concentration of substances in the blood is observed 30-40 minutes after administration.
The components bind well to blood proteins, which explains their high bioavailability. Herbal extracts are processed in the liver. Removal of breakdown products is carried out through the kidneys within 1 day after taking the last dose.
It is noted that the medication does not accumulate in tissues and organs and is completely eliminated from the body. This significantly reduces the risk of overdose.
