Reviews

We picked up some reviews of people who used the drug Persen:

Alice. Once I was prescribed by his doctor, I immediately say the effect was exactly the opposite, I smashed the mug on the floor, which in general never!! did not commit. In life, a person is balanced. I had to immediately stop drinking it and I immediately felt myself at times more relaxed without him, very annoyed mentality, all day at the speed of flying it was worth closing my eyes, an eerie feeling.
Nina. A new boss came to work, and life turned 180 degrees. Constant sensation of nervousness, an unceasing stressful situation, sleeping pills do not help - I turn around until morning. At home, because of this, the atmosphere became tense - I can not do anything. The doctor advised to drink a course Persen Forte. Now I am calm, like a boa constrictor.
Denis. I do not know, I used the Persen and do not say that the result is satisfied. Of course it is quite possible that only in my case of the effect there was no special, but nevertheless. Here Valoserdin tried to be treated, then everything was much better, anxiety passed in just two weeks, and no consequences. So valoserdin drug is proven, and it should be trusted.

What is better - a new passiter or a Persen?

Novo-Passit and Persen relate to sedatives created on the basis of plant components. At the same time, there are certain differences between them related to the composition and mechanism of action.

The composition of Persene was described earlier. The composition of the new passit also includes extracts of rhizome of valerian and herbs of melissa, which have a soothing effect. In addition, the preparation contains extracts of St. John's wort, hawthorn, passionflower, hops and elderberry, which greatly enhances sedative (relaxing) effect (in comparison with Persen), and also provides a certain cardiotonic action. Also, the composition of the new passit includes a drug called guaifenesin, one of the effects of which is to reduce anxiety and fear caused by various stressful conditions. All this significantly expands the range of application of the new passit, allowing it to be used for more severe neuroses, stress and other pathological conditions, in which Persen can be ineffective.

What is better - Persen or glycine?

Glycine normalizes metabolic processes in brain cells, and moderately activates inhibitory processes in the central nervous system. Reduces the increased nervous excitability and irritability, as a result of which a person behaves less aggressively in conflict situations. Also the drug raises mood, normalizes the process of falling asleep and reduces the number of nocturnal awakenings, as a result which favorably affects the functions of the brain (that is, it increases mental and physical activity).

The benefits of the drug can be attributed to a minimum of side effects (mostly allergic reactions) and contraindications. Also, this medication can be given to children and adolescents (if there are indications), during pregnancy or breastfeeding (when the persulin and other sedatives are contraindicated).
