Cardiological and sedative. The therapeutic effect of the drug is due to the action of a complex of biologically active substances of hawthorn fruits, motherwort herb, valerian roots, grass, rhizomes with roots of the unusual peony.
Biologically active substances contained in hawthorn fruits (flavonoids, choline, acetylcholine, tannins, phytosterols, triterpenic acids) have hypotensive, antispasmodic, antianginal properties, exhibit a moderate cardiotonic and cardioprotective effect; enhance blood circulation in the coronary vessels and in the vessels of the brain, increase the sensitivity of the myocardium to the action of cardiac glycosides, slightly enhance the contraction of the heart muscle and at the same time reduce its excitability.
Biologically active substances contained in motherwort herb (steroidal and flavonoid glycosides, stahydrin, essential oil, saponins, tannins, alkaloids) reduce excitation processes in the central nervous system, exhibit a moderate anxiolytic, hypotensive effect, promote the onset of physiological sleep, and also enhance the effects of other sedatives and hypnotics.
Biologically active substances contained in valerian roots (borneol and isovaleric acid ester, borneol, isovaleric acid, alkaloids, tannins, sugars) reduce the excitability of the central nervous system, reduce tension and irritability during mental overload and mental fatigue, exhibit sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, vasodilator and antispasmodic properties, enhance the effect of other drugs that have a depressing effect on the CNS, namely sedatives, hypnotics, tranquilizers. In addition, biologically active substances of valerian exhibit choleretic effects, slow down the heart rate, dilate the coronary vessels of the heart, and enhance the secretory activity of the gastric mucosa.
