Overdose of Corvalol is quite possible

Dependence on medications today is not a curiosity. There was even such a term: "Pharmacy addiction". There is even a drug dependence on Corvalol. It would seem that such an inoffensive drug. Here the granny comes into the drugstore and asks to release this medicine without a queue, and at the very hand are shaking. Everyone standing in line understands that the heart is probably pissing off. However, shaking hands in this case are also the result of regular and prolonged use of Corvalol, an addiction to it.

And this drug is even dangerous. There is also an overdose of Corvalolum, although everyone probably knows the "magic" properties of this medication.

• Helps in the treatment of the heart.
• Calms the pain.
• It makes it easier to fall asleep and so on.

Despite the low cost, consumers spend hundreds of millions a year on Corvalol. A couple of years ago, this medicine was allegedly planned to be sold by prescription. Why supposedly, because afterwards the consumer was assured that everything will remain the same. By this time, however, the population began to actively buy the drug in reserve, the pharmacies were filled with queues. Are all the cores?

Often, instead of timely access to a doctor, we prefer to "drip Corvalolco." At the same time, and the mood rises, and some people fell in love with Corvalol with alcohol. Whether there can be an overdose of Corvalolum, it is not difficult to guess. If it is difficult, then let's shed light on the composition of the drug, its effect and compatibility with alcohol. By the way, alcohol is already included in its composition.

But alcohol is not the main active substance. It acts as a solvent for a much more potent substance. Its name is Phenobarbital. Someone, perhaps better known as Luminal T-drug is recognized worldwide as a drug.

Given the fact that Luminalom not only calmed the nerves, but also reduced his life with him, the overdose of Corvalolum is at least possible, is not it?

In the USSR, Corvalol began to be manufactured and produced in 1960. In most of the advanced countries of the world, this medicine was stopped because of the appearance of more modern drugs. But it continues to enjoy wide popularity among us.

Probably, it should not be clarified that we are talking about the use of therapeutic doses? It should be remembered that the overdose of Corvalol is in particular an overdose of barbiturates, which is Phenobarbital. Theoretically, of course, any medicine in large doses is dangerous, but barbiturates are part of only a few.

Often people use this drug without any medical purpose, just to relieve tension. However, very few people study the instructions. I myself saw a man shaking Corvalol out of a bubble in a glass, not counting the number of drops.

I also saw a woman who was taken to an ambulance by a coral overdose. More precisely, she was brought in an irresponsible state, and the next day she stammered with tongue-tied tongue that she drank toila only one or two bubbles. Short-term retrograde amnesia, confusion of thoughts were observed.

How to avoid overdose

Strictly adhere to the attached instructions and prescriptions of the doctor. In particular, the dose should not exceed 50 drops. Joint use with alcohol is unacceptable.
