Overdose of Corvalol is quite possible

Dependence on medications todaynot in the gimmick. Appeared even such a term: "Pharmacy addiction." There is even a drug dependence on Corvalol. It would seem that such an inoffensive drug. Here granny comes into the pharmacy and asks to release this medicine without waiting in line, and at the very hands 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.
  • Soothes pain.
  • It makes it easier to fall asleep and so on.

Despite the low cost, consumers spendon Corvalol hundreds of millions a year. A couple of years ago, this medicine was allegedly planned to be sold by prescription. Why ostensibly, yes 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, pharmacies were filled with queues. Are all the cores?

Often, instead of addressingto the doctor, we prefer to "drip Corvalolco." At the same time, the mood rises, and some people like 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 not alcohol is the main activesubstance. 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, an overdose of Corvalolum is at least possible, is not it?

In the USSR, Corvalol began to produce and producein the 1960s. 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 aboutapplication 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 anymedical purpose, just to relieve tension. However, few people study the instructions. I myself saw a man shaking Corvalol out of a bubble into a glass, not counting the number of drops.

Also saw a woman who had an overdoseCorvalol led to the hospital emergency room. More precisely, she was brought in a deranged state, and she talked the next day with a tongue-tied tongue that she drank toila only one or two bubbles.
