Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Tranquesipam is a tranquilizer, a benzodiazepine drug with anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant and central muscle relaxant action. The mechanism of its action is associated with increased inhibition of the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid on the transmission of nerve impulses, inhibition of polysynaptic spinal reflexes, stimulation of binding sites with benzodiazepines, which are located in the allosteric center of postsynaptic receptors of gamma-aminobutyric acid. Tranquesipam helps to reduce the excitability of such subcortical structures of the brain as the limbic system, hypothalamus, thalamus.

The manifestation of anxiolytic action is a decrease in emotional stress, a weakening of feelings of fear, anxiety, anxiety.

The influence of the active substance on the reticular formation of the brainstem and nonspecific nuclei of the thalamus causes the sedative effect of Tranquesipam, which reduces the manifestations of symptoms of neurotic origin.

The hypnotic effect is associated with inhibition of the cells of the reticular formation of the brain stem, as a result of which the effect of autonomic, emotional, and motor stimuli on the mechanism of falling asleep decreases.

The anticonvulsant effect is associated with an increase in presynaptic inhibition, as a result of which only the propagation of the convulsive impulse is suppressed, while the state of excitement in the focus itself remains.

The central muscle relaxant effect of Tranquezipam becomes possible mainly due to inhibition of polysynaptic spinal reflexes and, to a lesser extent, inhibition of monosynaptic spinal reflexes. In addition, it is possible to directly inhibit motor nerves and muscle contractility.

Pharmacokinetics

After taking Tranquezipam tablets inside, the drug is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, which makes it possible to reach the maximum concentration in the blood plasma within 1–2 hours. The active substance is characterized by a wide distribution in the body. Metabolism of bromodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine occurs in the liver.

It is excreted from the body in the form of metabolites, mainly through the kidneys.

• on the part of the hematopoietic system: agranulocytosis (unusual weakness or fatigue, hyperthermia, chills, sore throat), leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia;
• from the genitourinary system: impaired renal function, urinary incontinence, dysmenorrhea, increased or decreased libido;
• allergic reactions: itchy skin, rash;
• effect on the fetus: teratogenicity (especially in the first trimester of pregnancy), respiratory failure, depression of the central nervous system, suppression of the sucking reflex;
• local reactions: when applying the solution - pain at the injection site, redness, swelling, phlebitis;
• others: drug dependence, addiction, tachycardia, lowering blood pressure (BP), decrease in body weight, diplopia (visual impairment), tachycardia; against the background of a sharp decrease in the dose or withdrawal of Tranquezipam - the development of withdrawal syndrome [nausea, vomiting, sleep disturbance, increased sweating, dysphoria, spasm of smooth muscles of internal organs and skeletal muscles, convulsions, depersonalization, depression, tremor, perception disorders (including photophobia, hyperacusis paresthesia), psychotic reactions].

Overdose

Symptoms: with a moderate degree of overdose - increased clinical effect and manifestation of dose-dependent undesirable effects. Against the background of a significant overdose, a pronounced inhibition of the activity of the cardiac and respiratory systems, consciousness develops.

Treatment: immediate gastric lavage, taking activated charcoal, prescribing symptomatic therapy. Careful monitoring of the state of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems and other vital functions of the body. Shown in / in the introduction of flumazenil at a dose of 0.2 mg with 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose (dextrose) solution, if necessary, the dose of flumazenil can be increased to 1 mg.

The use of hemodialysis is ineffective.

special instructions

The appointment of Tranquezipam to patients with psychosis should be done with caution because of the risk of paradoxical reactions.

In patients with renal and / or hepatic insufficiency, as well as in the case of a prolonged period of therapy, it is necessary to monitor the picture of peripheral blood and the activity of liver enzymes.

Side effects disappear after dose reduction or drug withdrawal, their frequency and nature depend on the individual tolerance and duration of the drug.

Long-term use of Tranquezipam at a dose above 4 mg per day can cause drug dependence in the patient.

The use of the drug before immediate childbirth or during delivery can cause hypothermia in the newborn, decreased muscle tone, respiratory depression, lower blood pressure, weakened sucking reflex.

During the period of treatment, the use of alcohol and ethanol-containing drugs is contraindicated.

The drug crosses the placental barrier and has a teratogenic effect on the fetus, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. In infants whose mothers took benzodiazepine drugs, after birth, depression of the central nervous system, respiratory failure, and a decrease in the sucking reflex are diagnosed.

Tranquesipam is excreted in breast milk, therefore, if necessary, breastfeeding should be discontinued.
