Pharmacodynamics is represented by an active substance - dimenhydrinate. It refers to the blockers of H ₁ -receptors. Due to its unique properties, the substance actively fights with vomiting, nausea and has a sedative effect. Therefore, it is necessary to use it in many cases.

In addition, the drug has antimuscarinic and antihistamine action. The drug actively reduces the excitability of the emetic center of the nervous system. All this is due to the influence of the active ingredient and auxiliary substances.

The medicine has a more favorable effect and for a short time contributes to the improvement of the human condition. The main thing is to start the process of treatment in time. The drug should be taken for a time before the trip is carried out or during it. This will avoid unpleasant symptoms.

Active substance dimenhydrinate calms the nervous system and thereby facilitates the human condition. Dedalon is a powerful remedy in dealing with unwanted symptoms. 

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics is an active substance of dimenhydrinate, which blocks H ₁ -receptors. After use, the component is quickly absorbed. Its maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 15-30 minutes after administration. This indicator remains unchanged for 4-6 hours.

Virtually 98-99% of the drug binds to blood plasma proteins. The active ingredient freely passes through the placental barrier and is excreted through breast milk.

The metabolism of the drug occurs mainly in the liver. The remedy is completely eliminated from the body within 24 hours. This occurs mainly in the form of metabolites. In less quantity, the remedy is excreted through the kidneys. The full half-life in the blood plasma is 5-10 hours.

The medicine does not stay in the body for a long time and does not have a negative effect on it. This is the invariable plus of the given medicine. Dedalon is completely eliminated from the body throughout the day. 

Dosing and administration

The way of administration and dose of Dedalon differs depending on who takes the drug. So, for adults and older children it is recommended to take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours. For one day a person can take no more than 8 tablets. This is the maximum daily dose that can not be exceeded

Children from 6 to 12 years should drink half or a whole tablet, also 1-2 times a day. The maximum dose is much less and depends on the weight of the child. So, one kilogram can take no more than 5 mg of the drug.

Use of the dedalona during pregnancy

Using Dedalon during pregnancy is a contentious issue. The fact is that there is no data on this. Taking medication during pregnancy is possible only after a thorough assessment of the expected benefit and the risk of using it.

Naturally, this is not recommended. But if constant vomiting has led to the loss of more electrolytes, then such a measure is forced. The medicine does not carry a particular danger, but, nevertheless, it is necessary to monitor the future mother during the period of taking the remedy.

As for breastfeeding, in this case everything is ambiguous. The fact is that a small amount of the drug can penetrate into the mother's milk. How this affects the baby's body is not known. Therefore, it is recommended that you refrain from such a procedure.

 In either case, each of these processes requires consultation with a physician. This will accurately assess the danger and weigh all the risks. Only after this can appoint a reception Dedalon. 

Contraindications

The main contraindications to the use of Dedalon are the increased sensitivity to the components of the drug. Thus, the main active substances of the agent are dimenhydrinate and diphenylhydroamine. A similar situation is with auxiliary components.

There are a number of contraindications, due to which the taking of the medicine is prohibited by sex. So, this is eclampsia and epilepsy. The last disease often occurs in children, so you should refrain from this medication. In case of taking this medication, the appearance of an attack is not excluded, therefore it is impossible to use it for people with epilepsy.

 Renal failure, angle-closure glaucoma and increased intracranial pressure are also among the negative factors. They can provoke an inadequate reaction in the body.

 Young children should not take a remedy. The active ingredient may not cause significant harm to the body. Having these diseases or phenomena, you can not take Dedalon! 

Side effects of the dedalona

Side effects Dedalon does not exclude. This is mainly due to the intolerance of certain components of the drug. So, in the first instance, a manifestation of drowsiness and a depressed state is possible. This is due to the active influence of Dedalon on the central nervous system.

Do not exclude the development of fatigue, increased reaction time, blurred vision, as well as muscle weakness. In some cases, the drug is too active. As a result, a person feels tired, he begins to grow dull in his eyes and ring in his ears. This is caused by a strong effect on the central nervous system.

In some cases, dry mouth, rashes on the skin, difficulty urinating, tachycardia and impaired coordination of movements. Very rarely shows an attack of angina pectoris.

Inadequately, the gastrointestinal tract can respond. This manifests itself in painful sensations, diarrhea or vice versa, constipation. If there are side effects, reception of Dedanol should be canceled.

Overdose

Overdose Dedalon is not completely excluded. After all, a person can independently increase the dose and thereby harm himself. So, during an overdose, there may be convulsions, dillyions, inhibition of breathing and even anticholinergic psychosis. All this poses a danger to health.

In some cases, the appearance of marked peripheral signs of anticholinergic poisoning is not ruled out. If all these symptoms begin to manifest themselves, you must immediately perform the actions aimed at washing the stomach and removing toxins from the body through activated charcoal. After that, an ordinary symptomatic treatment is performed.

To avoid adverse symptoms of an overdose, you need to follow the instructions clearly. After all, a person wishing to quickly improve his condition, significantly increases the dose. In no case can this be done if the medicine is taken by a child. Otherwise, you have to stop taking the drug. Even more so, sometimes Daedalus can worsen the situation. 

Storage conditions

The main conditions of Dedalon storage are the observance of a certain temperature regime. So, it is desirable that the temperature does not exceed 15-30 degrees. Many people prefer to store medicines in the refrigerator. You can not do this, even in the hot summer period. After all, each drug has its own temperature regime, which can not be violated. When exposed to high temperature, the "blistering" of the blister is not excluded.

Of particular importance is the storage itself. So, there should not be dampness, direct sunlight and elevated temperatures. Avoid standing and mechanical impact on the blister with pills. Damaged packaging may damage the product.

Do not allow the medication to enter the baby's hands. Kids, in their ignorance, can take a remedy and thereby poison their body. Therefore, it is worthwhile to take care of a universal storage place, where all conditions will be observed. In this case, Dedalon will last for many years.

Shelf life

The expiration date plays a big role. But of great importance is the observance of storage conditions. On the package of the drug it is indicated that it can be stored for 5 years, this is a long period. But, if you do not do it correctly, then it is reduced several times.

The main thing is to observe a certain temperature, which will not exceed 15-30 degrees. This will avoid premature spoilage of the medication. After all, some people choose not the best places for storage. So, we arrange the product on the shelf, under which the oven operates, they subject it to elevated temperature processing. This is simply unacceptable. The product will immediately become unusable and it will be visible on the blistered blister.

Mechanical damage should also be avoided. After all, it can quickly deteriorate. The dampness must be immediately eliminated, the prepared place must be warm and dry. Otherwise, the drug obviously will not last for 5 years. It is important that the place is dark, warm and dry, these are the ideal conditions in which to store Dedalon.
