What are unscented soothing drops. Strong fast-acting laxatives

People who suffer from insomnia take various medications, including sleeping pills and drops. The liquid dosage form has both pluses and minuses. To effectively treat sleep disorders, you need to actively use the full benefits of each remedy.

Some drugs provide a rapid onset of sleep, others normalize its duration and depth. A well-rested person remains cheerful and active.

Opinion of a somnologist: “The drugs listed below rather help to relax and remove anxiety, which contributes to falling asleep, and no one has canceled the placebo effect. The main thing is that the drug suits and helps you, and it does not matter in what form it is: drops or syrup. Keep in mind that even the over-the-counter good old and familiar valocordinum contains phenobarbital, which is addictive. And once again I repeat, contact a specialist until insomnia has become chronic, when it is already difficult to deal with it. ”
, somnologist.

Pharmacological groups of hypnotics and sedatives:

derivatives of barbituric acid (barbiturates);
derivatives of benzodiazepines;
antihistamines;
some antidepressants;
sedatives;
a number of neuroleptics;
combined.

According to the degree of influence on the nervous system, groups of light, moderate and potent drugs are distinguished. By consistency, they can be solid (tablets, capsules). Liquid forms: tinctures, drops, syrups.

Important! Barbiturates, benzodiazepine derivatives, antipsychotics and antidepressants -. As a rule, they are produced in the form of tablets and capsules, they are released in pharmacies by prescription.

Barbiturates

A potent sleeping pill acts for a long time - 7-8 hours, but changes the structure of sleep, causes drug dependence. Almost devoid of these harmful effects are drops of Valocordin and Corvalol containing phenobarbital.

Antihistamines

Block the reaction of tissues to histamine, enhance the effect of analgesics. Sleeping antihistamine drops Valocordin-Doxylamine better helps with sleep disorders caused by allergies, inflammation, pain.

Biologically active additives

Drops Morpheus and Bayu-Bai - sleeping pills without prescriptions. Contains natural ingredients. It can be taken for a long time, addiction does not develop. Dietary supplements differ from drugs in the absence of preclinical and clinical trials, which are required in evidence-based medicine.

Herbal tinctures

Means are prepared using alcohol with a strength of 60-96%. Released in a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. Ethanol dissolves useful components, prevents their deterioration, preserves the aroma and taste of the natural source. It is convenient to dose such a concentrate in drops, it can be used for a long time and stored for 2-3 years.

Drops of Knott, Rescue Remedy, Valerianochel are light sleeping pills. Some people get help, others don't.

Indications for the use of sleeping pills and sedatives in drops

Sleep is disturbed by nervous overexcitation, stress, neuroses. It is in these cases that drops from insomnia of weak and medium action help. Taking such a remedy is also justified in situations where the causes of insomnia are not identified or cannot be completely eliminated.

Important! It is better to entrust the choice of a hypnotic drug to a specialist who will find out the root cause of the disease, the presence of concomitant diseases.

If the problem is only in falling asleep, then a quick-acting remedy is more suitable. In the case of frequent awakenings at night, after which sleep is gone forever, you need to use a strong medicine.

Herbal tinctures, sedative syrups, dietary supplements, homeopathic preparations are sold in pharmacies without a prescription. This does not mean that they are intended for uncontrolled or long-term treatment. To avoid worsening the condition, one must pay attention to limitations and side effects.

severe damage to the liver and kidneys;
anemia of moderate and severe degree;
myasthenia gravis;

pregnancy and breastfeeding period (not always);
diseases that are accompanied by a deterioration in the patency of the respiratory tract.

Important! Benzodiazepines, barbiturates, prescription antidepressants have many contraindications and are addictive.

Sleep disturbances in the elderly may be due to the fact that different drugs begin to work. A person takes drops for insomnia and several other types of drugs. A "cocktail" of drugs causes sleep disturbances, a vicious circle occurs.

Sleeping pills of different chemical structure

Why drops are preferred over other forms of medication

Medications for insomnia come in a variety of forms. It can be tablets, capsules, tinctures. But sleeping pills in drops are most preferred. Compared to other forms of release, they have several advantages:

they are more bioavailable, as they are absorbed faster and enter the bloodstream;
they are convenient to carry and store, as they will not spill, even upside down;
they are convenient to use, since there is no danger of overfilling or, on the contrary, underfilling the medicine.

Therefore, the use of sleeping pills will provide a faster effect than tablets or capsules. This applies to both products intended for dissolution in another liquid medium (water), and those that need to be dripped directly into the nasal or oral cavity.

How sleeping pills work

The main goal of any sleeping pill is to ensure the predominance of inhibitory processes in the nervous system over excitatory ones. Different drugs cope with this task in different ways, and the strength and duration of their action depend on this. For example, if a hypnotic is short-acting, then it mainly affects arousal. In this case, the inhibitory mechanisms are not affected, but by themselves they begin to predominate, and sleep sets in. Such funds are necessary for those who have difficulty falling asleep, but do not complain about the quality of sleep itself, since they do not affect the very structure of sleep.

If the quality of sleep suffers (a person wakes up often, sleeps poorly, superficial sleep, etc.), then it is best to use drugs with an average duration of action.

They, like the previous ones, eliminate excitation, but, at the same time, tend to enhance the processes of inhibition. The action of such drugs lasts much longer than short ones.

Many sleeping pills are addictive

And the third group of sleeping pills include drugs that have the longest effect. Such drugs affect simultaneously both excitation and inhibition processes, suppressing the former and significantly enhancing the latter. As a rule, they are used at the discretion of the doctor, depending on the situation.

Some drugs for insomnia in drops can only be purchased with a doctor's prescription. As a rule, these drugs require the most accurate dosage and preliminary examination, as they have a strong hypnotic effect on the nervous system. One of these agents are Oniria drops, the active substance of which is represented by the compound zolpidem. The medicine has many contraindications and is selected taking into account each individual clinical case.

Over-the-counter sleep drops

Other drugs for insomnia in the form of drops can be bought on their own, without going to a doctor. It should be noted right away that sleeping pills that can be purchased without a prescription on hand do not have a strong effect (with the exception of some). Therefore, they are admitted to free sale.

However, it must be borne in mind that, despite their over-the-counter sale, they are not completely harmless, require compliance with the dosage and have contraindications. In addition, many of them are addictive. Among these drugs, the most popular are:

valocordin;
valocordin-doxylamine;
corvalol;
melatonin;
bubbled;
notta.

This drug has a mild sedative effect on the central nervous system. Its component is phenobarbital, in addition to which it contains essential oils of mint and hops. The drug will help if the lack of sleep is accompanied by increased irritability and anxiety. You can also use it for pain in the heart caused by nervous tension or fear.

Valocordin is a combination drug, as it contains several active ingredients.

Valocordin has contraindications. During the period of bearing a child or breastfeeding, it can not be used. The same applies to conditions associated with kidney or liver disease. Despite the fact that the drug is sold without a prescription and has instructions indicating the dosage, the attending physician should still prescribe doses and determine the duration of its use.

If you exceed the dosage or use the medicine for longer than required, side effects may occur. There will be a state of depression, depression; coordination in space may be disturbed. On the part of the tissues, disturbances in the state of the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose are possible, which is expressed in rhinitis or conjunctivitis. If the drug is not suitable, then there may be feelings of weakness or drowsiness, dizziness may occur.

Valocordin-doxylamine

This tool has a lot of positive reviews. It is available without a prescription, although doxylamine (powder) is required to purchase it. Due to its addition, valocordin has a more pronounced hypnotic effect.

Valocordin - Doxylamine exhibits hypnotic and sedative effects

The drug facilitates falling asleep and improves the quality of sleep, making it longer and deeper. The hypnotic drug valocordin-doxylamine has many contraindications, side effects and features of interaction with other drugs, therefore, despite the over-the-counter sale, you should consult your doctor before buying it.

Corvalol

If you need to calm down, what is called "move away", to calm the heartbeat caused by emotional stress, then you can use Corvalol. This drug copes well with these conditions, but is a weak sleeping pill in the dosage indicated in the instructions. It is sometimes used to relieve spasms in the gastrointestinal tract.

Corvalol drops - sedative and antispasmodic

The composition of corvalol, as well as valocordin, includes mint oil, ethyl ester of bromisovaleric acid and phenobarbital. The drug has similar contraindications and side effects. In addition, in the form of sleeping pills, it cannot be used if there is a history of a skull injury or diseases of the brain.

If you take Corvalol for a sufficiently long period of time, addiction develops to it. To achieve the desired effect, the dosage has to be increased. It is also quite difficult to stop using sedative drops after prolonged use - a withdrawal syndrome develops.

barboval

In the case when insomnia is accompanied by both irritability and pain in the region of the heart, neuroses and arousal, barboval can be used. The components of this drug are almost the same as in the previous ones, it also includes phenobarbital and bromisovaleric acid ester. But Validol is also added to it.

Barboval - a complex sedative medicine

The drug has both a sedative and hypnotic effect. The latter also cannot be called strong, depending on the dosage and individual characteristics of the nervous system. Therefore, you should not experiment on yourself, but it is better to consult a doctor so that he prescribes the optimal dosage, taking into account all factors.

Melatonin

Drops from insomnia Melatonin contain the active substance melatonin. It is a synthetic analogue of the natural sleep hormone melatonin. The tool is highly effective and begins to act about half an hour after ingestion. It can be used by both adults and children. It is not addictive and has no side effects. This drug has the best reviews, as it has neither smell nor taste, unlike the above.

Melatonin is a natural hormone

notta

This is a homeopathic remedy that can be freely purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription. It can be used when insomnia is accompanied by increased fatigue and irritability. It is also suitable for children who have sleep disorders along with restlessness or increased nervous excitability. At the same time, for very young children, under the age of 3 years, the doctor must determine the dosage.

Knott's insomnia medication contains zinc valerianate. In addition, its components are oats, chamomile, coffee and phosphorus. The medicine has no side effects, and contraindications are only individual sensitivity to the components.

How to choose a drug for insomnia

As a rule, the purchase of a drug for insomnia is justified if the causes of its occurrence are unclear, or if it is not possible to get rid of them. Before choosing or buying a sleeping pill, you should carefully analyze the sleep disorder. So, if the sleep itself is even and deep, and the problem is only falling asleep, then you need to opt for drugs that have a short or medium period of exposure. In addition, they can be taken not only at night, but also in the case when, having woken up in the middle of the night, it is impossible to fall asleep again.

With frequent awakening, it is better to choose products that have an average period of action or a short one. But if early awakenings, after which there is no sleep, cause concern, preference should be given to drugs that act for a long time. However, it must be borne in mind that such drugs can lead to morning retardation and weakness.

According to doctors, the most preferred drugs for insomnia are drugs that include zolpidem and doxylamine, since they do not adversely affect the structure of sleep.

Narcotic and sleeping pills

Aether pro narcosi is used in surgical practice for inhalation anesthesia; sometimes used in an oil enema (mainly for labor pain relief). With a decline in cardiac activity and respiratory depression, up to 1 ml of ether is sometimes injected under the skin as an aphrodisiac (reflex action).

For the same purpose, as well as vomiting, appoint ether or "ethereal drops" inside. Together with chloroform, the ether is part of the mixture for inhalation ("anti-smoke mixture"), used for poisoning with irritating arsines. For inhalation anesthesia, ether is used alone or in combination with nitrous oxide and oxygen.

Anesthesia when using ether is relatively safe, well controlled and, with proper dosing, is not accompanied by significant changes in blood circulation and respiration. Skeletal muscles relax well.

Ether vapors, however, cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and a significant increase in salivation and secretion of the bronchial glands. Irritation of the respiratory tract may be accompanied at the beginning of anesthesia by reflex changes in breathing and laryngospasm.

To avoid these complications, anesthesia often begins with the use of nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen, followed by the use of ether. The restriction of secretion is achieved by the preliminary administration of atropine. For better relaxation of skeletal muscles, it is possible to use curare preparations (“relaxants”). It should be borne in mind that the effect of the latter under the influence of ether is usually enhanced, which requires a corresponding reduction in dosage.

"Medications", M.D. Mashkovsky

Complications ether anesthesia usually does not cause. Due to the irritating effect on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, however, subsequent bronchopneumonia is possible. Contraindications for the use of ether anesthesia are: pulmonary tuberculosis, acute respiratory diseases, increased intracranial pressure, cardiovascular diseases with a significant increase in blood pressure and cardiac decompensation, severe kidney disease, general exhaustion, diabetes, acidosis.

intoxication of tipsy citizens began from the second half

80s. Then, for this purpose, mainly containing

clonidine eye drops, which were cheap and sold

without recipe. Liquid clonidine mixes well with alcohol,

repelling a specific aftertaste and a very slight smell of a pharmacy.

After the introduction in medical institutions of strict accounting for

consumption of liquid klofslin began to be used in the form of powder from

finely divided tablets. Powder in water or alcohol

dissolves and forms a cloudy suspension. in cognac or

Pepsi is well noticeable, in vodka and tonic it is noticeable, but worse.

Therefore, young ladies pour themselves only when the client is already

almost ready and little thought. And it won't even be

consider whether there is sediment in the glass.

Mechanism of action. Acts on the central nervous system, causing a sharp drop

blood pressure, loss of consciousness and collapse.

Clinic. A sucker who has received a dose of clonidine quickly turns off,

not having time to really understand anything, and is unconscious

few hours. At the same time: the pulse is weak, pressure (especially

upper) low, skin and mucous membranes (mouth, tongue)

pale, hands and feet cold and damp, rapid breathing,

And yet: what strong sleeping pills can be bought at a pharmacy without a prescription? Sonmil is not only the most powerful over-the-counter sleeping pill. Almost all sleeping pills are prescribed by a doctor, since their uncontrolled use can be dangerous to health. Very easily soluble in water and alcohol. The drug has a mild sedative and hypnotic effect, insomnia is mentioned in the indications. Corvalol works as a sedative, mild sleeping pill.

Before resorting to the use of sleeping pills, you should try other ways that can help you fall asleep quickly. A distinctive feature of the hypnotic group is that their hypnotic effect is the main one and they are used only when insomnia is a clinical diagnosis in a person.

The mechanism of action of hypnotics is based on the influence on the neurotransmitter processes of the central nervous system. Nerve cells control body functions with the help of chemical signaling substances, neurotransmitters and neurohormones. They are divided into two groups - inhibitory and excitatory.

Potent sleeping pills without a prescription

The mechanism of action of hypnotic drugs is based on the activation of inhibitory mediators and inhibition of excitatory ones. Sleeping pills, which are available in the form of drops, do not belong to the group of potent drugs, so most people can get them without a prescription. A significant disadvantage is that the liquid has a rather specific taste and smell. Valerian tincture, corvalol and barboval are especially “noticeable” in this regard.

The most powerful sleeping pill in the world

Tincture of valerian and motherwort has a pronounced sedative and hypnotic effect, the mechanism of which is not exactly established. Many experts believe that the effect of valerian and motherwort is not the strongest that can be observed with the use of herbal medicines, but it is distinguished by the stability of the therapeutic effect.

It exhibits a sedative effect, inhibits motor activity, depresses the sensory areas of the cerebral cortex. The combination of all these moments is regarded as a hypnotic effect. The action of the drug begins half an hour after administration and lasts up to 8 hours, in rare cases up to 12. After two weeks of administration, its effectiveness decreases.

Barboval and Corvalol are combination preparations very similar in composition. Both of them contain phenobarbital and bromisovalerianate. In addition, barboval contains liquid validol, and corvalol - peppermint oil. A single and daily dose of drugs is determined individually for each person.

It does not have to be the strongest medicine, it is important that it suits a particular person. The list of contraindications for taking sleeping pills in the form of drops is not very long, but it should not be ignored. Side effects develop extremely rarely, mainly with the use of phenobarbital, since this is a fairly potent substance. First of all, these are allergic reactions from the skin, impaired hematopoiesis, lowering blood pressure and heart rate.

Sleeping pills without a prescription

After a full sleep, a charge of vivacity and efficiency is enough for a long time. Such drugs, for example, include old and well-known barbiturates: etaminal - sodium, barbamil, phenobarbital. You also need a prescription to buy modern, mild drugs like Imovan (zopiclone) and zolpidem. At the same time, there is a large group of over-the-counter drugs that have a hypnotic effect. They are commercially available because their psychoactive inhibitory effect on the central nervous system is much lower, and overdose does not cause serious side effects.

Advantages: it is impossible to overdose the drug, due to its very rapid decay. Good sleep continues after the drug has been eliminated from the body, so sleep can be considered physiological. Melaksen works on the principle of "done - gone." The drug does not change the course of the natural cycle and structure of sleep, does not cause nightmares, does not affect awakening.

15 mg in effervescent and regular tablets). It is a blocker of H 1 histamine receptors, and, in essence, an antihistamine. But it is not intended for the treatment of allergic diseases, but is used only for sleep disorders and insomnia. I did not read the instructions and took two tablets at once on the first day.

This immediately puts this drug on a par with more serious competitors, and its low cost makes it very attractive to the general population. Benefits: the drug has a characteristic odor, valerian and mint potentiate the action of phenobarbital. It can be used as a distraction for pain in the heart area instead of validol, drops can be used in different, individual dosages.

From the reviews: “Corvalol is the best sleeping pill. I take all my life. Both my mother and my grandmother. Daytime sleepiness and a feeling of depression may develop, especially with an overdose. In addition, the drug has an anti-anxiety effect, along the way improves memory and memorization processes.

Disadvantages: The specific hypnotic effect of glycine has not been studied separately. The effect of the drug is to restore the imbalance between the mediators of the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system. Breakdowns, memory impairment, irritability and poor sleep began. A week after the start of taking glycine, I managed to get rid of all the unpleasant sensations.

So, the drug "Dormiplant" just like the described "Persen" contains lemon balm, mint and valerian. Homeopathic preparations are not described, since they do not have a determined effective dose, and cannot be considered from the point of view of evidence-based medicine.
