Dosing and administration

Do not engage in self-medication, with an independent prescription of the amount of the drug taken, you can make a mistake with the dosage and instead of waiting for a positive result, you can get a feedback reaction of your body in the form of various complications. Therefore, the method of application and dose should be prescribed only by a specialist, based on the clinical picture of the disease, the neglect of the process and the age of the patient.

Pharmacologists recommend in the role of starting dosage for adult patients and adolescents who are already 12 years old to take two to three tablets, which, in order to obtain the expected effect, are drunk one hour before the supposed bedtime.

If patients by age fall into the category, to whom from six to 12 years, the drug intake is under the supervision of a specialist, and is calculated depending on the weight of the small patient. Mostly, this is one or two tablets taken an hour before the moment when the baby is laid to sleep. During this period, Sanason will begin to act and the child calmly and quickly falls asleep. If the course of treatment is over, and Sanoson is canceled, there was no withdrawal syndrome by medics.

Use Sanason during pregnancy

Medicines, which include hops, leads to the imbalance of the hormonal background, increasing the amount of estrogen in it and inhibiting the synthesis of other hormonal components. Proceeding from the above, the use of Sanason during pregnancy is not recommended, especially this recommendation refers to the first trimester of pregnancy.

At the time when the baby was born and the woman starts to feed it with breast milk, the use of the medicine in question is permissible only if the real need to cope with the mother's problem clearly outweighs the alleged negative impact that Sanoson is able to show in relation to the baby's body.

There are no negative effects of Sanazon on the developing and growing body of the baby, but it is advisable not to risk any more and for the period of therapeutic treatment of the mother to transfer the child to artificial feeding, excommunicated from breastfeeding.
 

Contraindications

No matter how safe some medicines are considered, there are absolutely no harmless drugs. After all, the main function of medications is to influence the patient's body so that the expected effectiveness is obtained. But today it is difficult to name even one drug that, acting on the pathology for which it is taken, would not have a side effect on other organs and systems of the human body.

There are also contraindications to the use of Sanason. They caution the use of this medication if there is a history of the patient:

  • Individual intolerance of the component composition of the medication.
  • Propensity to allergic reactions, especially to components of herbal preparations, because some of them can be powerful allergens.
  • It is not recommended to use this medication in therapeutic treatment if the young patient is not yet six years old.

In order to prevent complications, the attending doctor must necessarily get acquainted with the patient's anamnesis.

Side effects Sanason

The drug in question refers to preparations that are perfectly tolerated by the patient's organisms, but with rare exceptions, Sananason's side effects can sometimes be observed. And such discomfort can manifest itself with such symptomatology:

  • Manifestations of allergy:
  • Rashes on the skin.
  • Itching.
  • Epidermal hyperemia.
  • Other manifestations are possible.
  • Increased fatigue.
  • Irritability.
  • If the medicine is taken for a long time, constipation is possible.

But it is not necessary to worry especially in such a situation, it is usually enough to reduce the dosage or take off, and the pathological symptoms disappear on their own. And in case of an intense allergic reaction, you should inform the treating doctor. He will assess the situation and give the necessary recommendations. Perhaps one of the antihistamines will be introduced into the treatment protocol.

Overdose

Listening to the advice of a qualified physician or the recommendations given in the instructions accompanying the medication, it is almost impossible to get an excess of the dose of the drug with the corresponding negative symptoms. But if the dosages, for whatever reason, are violated, an overdose is theoretically possible.

For example, when you enter into the body 20 g of extract from the roots and rhizomes of valerian, which is neither much nor small, it corresponds to 123 units of the drug, and easier pills, the body of the victim is able to respond with such pathological symptoms:

  1. Decrease in the general tone of a person. Apathy.
  2. Spasms accompanied by pain affecting the epigastric region.
  3. Tremor, which is observed in the upper limbs.
  4. Dizziness.
  5. Feeling tired.
  6. The sensation that something is squeezing in the chest.
  7. Visually, the dilatation of the eye pupils can be observed.

After a day (24 hours) after taking this huge dosage, this symptomatology usually goes away on its own.

In a situation where the amount of galenic injected into the human body is exceeded (the active component of cones of hop obtained with extracts), you can get such side effects:

  1. Pain symptomatology, manifested in the abdomen and head.
  2. Nausea.
  3. There may be vomiting.
  4. A person feels "broken" and completely "devastated".

When there are signs of an overdose, the first thing to do is to help the patient by washing his stomach, and then without fail to inform the treating doctor.

Interactions with other drugs

No matter how innocuous the medicine may seem, but when it is used together with drugs belonging to other pharmacological groups or the one to which Sanoson belongs, one can observe a mutual effect on the pharmacodynamics of each other. Therefore, before introducing a new drug into the protocol of treatment, it is necessary to know the consequences of the interaction of Sanason with other drugs.

Sanoson has not yet been thoroughly studied in the light of his joint work with various drugs. One can only say that with the tandem entry of Sanason and the drugs that suppress the excitation of the nerve receptors, the effect of the latter increases. That is, you can observe increased inhibition of the central nervous system of the patient.

A similar situation occurs when working together with antihypertensive drugs. Sanason, strengthening their action, leads to a more significant drop in blood pressure, which is also unsafe for the human body.

Strengthens and the action of painkillers, which clearly indicates that it is necessary to adjust the dosage of one and the other drug.

Storage conditions

Sanoson was appointed, but immediately after he was bought at the pharmacy, it is necessary to pay attention to Sanason's storage conditions, at home. After all, the quality of the remaining pharmacological characteristics that the drug should display throughout the therapeutic period depends on how correctly a person begins to withstand these recommendations, given in the medicine attached to the medicine.

There are several such recommendations:

  1. Keep the medicine in a cool place where the room temperature does not exceed + 25 ° C.
  2. The room where Sanason should be stored must be dry, moisture reduces the quality of the product, and worsens its pharmacological characteristics.
  3. The drug should not be available to young children.
  4. The storage location should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

If the end date is already overdue, further use of the medicine in question is unacceptable. The shelf life of the Sanasone sedative is two years from the date of release of a particular lot of the drug.
