Product Overview
pharmachologic effect
The effect of the drug is due to the properties of the substances included in its composition: Peppermint oil: it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
It contains many useful substances: menthol and its esters, acids (valerianic and acetic), dipentene, fellandren, etc. Thanks to this, the oil is able to expand the vessels of the heart, GM, and respiratory organs.
In addition, the substances have a beneficial effect on the digestive system: relieve cramps, eliminate nausea, increase motility, reduce pressure in the colon, and neutralize flatulence. The mechanism of action of peppermint oil is achieved through the ability of its substances to irritate specific “cold” receptors of internal organs.
Motherwort extract contains many bioactive substances (alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, etc.). Due to the combined properties of the components, the extract has a sedative and hypotensive effect: it reduces the frequency and enhances the contraction of the heart muscle, normalizes blood pressure.
Ethyl α-bromoisovalerate is a combined substance with sedative, antispasmodic and antihypertensive properties that can enhance the sedative effect of other medicines.
The substance lowers the excitability of receptors of the nervous system, activates the inhibition of brain neurons, reduces the activity of centers that regulate the functioning of blood vessels and motor reflexes. The mechanism of exposure is similar to preparations containing valerian.
