Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Corvalol Fito is a complex herbal preparation that has an antispasmodic, sedative, moderate hypotensive and insignificant cardiotonic effect (increases the strength of heart contractions and slows down the heart rate).
Ethyl bromisovalerianate soothes and has antispasmodic properties. The mechanism of action is due to irritation of receptors (mainly in the nasopharynx and oral cavity), increased inhibition in neurons located in the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures, a decrease in reflex excitability in the central nervous system, as well as a direct effect on smooth muscles. The nature of the action of ethyl bromoisovalerianate is close to that of drugs based on valerian.
Peppermint oil has an antispasmodic, antiseptic, reflex vasodilating and mild choleretic effect. Peppermint can irritate cold receptors located on the oral mucosa and reflexively dilate blood vessels (mainly the vessels of the brain and heart). In addition, it irritates the receptors of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and increases intestinal motility, thereby reducing the increased gas production (flatulence).
Motherwort has a pronounced sedative effect, exhibits hypotensive activity, and also increases the strength of the contractions of the heart muscle and reduces the heart rate (heart rate).
