What every
- should know: Prolonged uncontrolled intake of the drug at a higher than prescribed dose may lead to addiction due to addiction to phenobarbital and chronic bromine poisoning-bromism. Bromine, isolated from ethyl bromizovalerianate, accumulates in the body, gradually causing intoxication.
Manifestations of bromism: gastrointestinal disturbances, bronchitis, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, acne, apathy, confusion, depression, speech and sleep disorders, memory impairment and other neurological disorders. - With abrupt discontinuation of the use of drops after their continued use, the withdrawal symptoms develop abstinence syndrome.
- The drug is not compatible with alcohol, which increases its effect and increases toxicity.
- It is undesirable to combine drops with tranquilizers, neuroleptics, sedatives. The latter intensify the action of Valocordin, and the former - weaken. Thus, the opposite effect can be obtained.
- Do not take drops before driving a car, because they cause slight inhibition, a decrease in the speed of psychomotor reactions.
