Pharmacological properties
Teraligen (reviews of patients who took the drug, mostly positive) has several pharmacological properties, due to which it can be called a combination medicine. The drug has antispasmodic properties, that is, it affects the smooth muscles of the internal organs, eliminates spasm, thereby helping to get rid of pain.
In addition, the remedy has an antiemetic and hypnotic effect, which also makes it possible to improve the patient's condition and eliminate unreasonable fear. Additionally, the medication has antihistamine properties that enhance the hypnotic and antiemetic effect.
The drug belongs to the group of antipsychotics, therefore it has antipsychotic properties. This effect in the medicine is weak, but in mild disorders, the medicine helps to stop the symptoms. In addition, the tablets suppress the cough reflex, which also helps to improve the condition.
The combined action of the medication allows it to be used for various diseases accompanied by pain and other unpleasant manifestations.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The active substance of the drug has a rather pronounced antispasmodic effect. In this case, the effect is observed not only on the part of the smooth muscles of internal organs, for example, the stomach or intestines, but also from the muscular layer of blood vessels, which allows you to eliminate the headache associated with their spasm.
The sedative effect of the drug allows it to be used as a mild, non-addictive sleeping pill for mild sleep disturbances in patients against a background of other conditions.
Additionally, a component of the composition helps to block the production of histamines, which are responsible for the development of an allergic reaction. Due to this, there is a rapid and almost complete suppression of various allergic reactions associated with the use of any medications, food or contact with toxic substances.
Additionally, the drug has an antiemetic effect by suppressing nausea and the gag reflex. As a result, it is possible to eliminate dyspeptic disorders that worsen the course of many diseases. The patient feels relief due to the combination of antiemetic and antispasmodic action.
In acute mental disorders, the drug shows little effectiveness, since its antipsychotic effect is poorly expressed. However, the combination of hypnotic and antipsychotic action allows the use of pills at the initial stage, when the symptoms have not yet worsened.
After penetration into the digestive tract, the active component of the tablets is quickly absorbed. Already 2 hours after administration, the maximum concentration of the components in the blood plasma is noted. In this case, the therapeutic effect is observed already 20 minutes after consumption.
The agent is almost completely absorbed in the body and binds well to plasma proteins, which explains its high bioavailability. The maximum duration of action of the medication is 6-8 hours, which depends on the patient's body, namely the state of his kidneys.
The active ingredient breaks down into metabolites, which, after a few 2 days, are excreted from the body by the kidneys in an amount of 80%. The rest comes out with feces. In case of mild renal failure, excretion lasts up to 3 days, which does not affect the therapeutic effect of the drug.
When the tablets are taken with food, there is a slight slowdown in the absorption of the component into the blood, which also does not weaken the therapeutic effect of the drug.
