    Microcrystalline cellulose.
    Povidone 25.
    Colloidal silicon dioxide is anhydrous.
    Magnesium stearate.
    Fold II White 85F18422, mixture of compounds - polyethylene glycol, talc, titanium dioxide E 171, polyvinyl alcohol.
Tablets are packaged in a blister for 10 pieces. One cardboard bundle has 1, 2 and 5 blisters. This gives convenience for the use of the drug depending on the duration of the course of treatment.

pharmachologic effect

The active substance of tablets Aminalon refers to nootropic drugs. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is a natural metabolite of the brain and stimulates the functional activity of the central nervous system, due to such pharmacological effects:
    It enhances energy processes in neurocytes (cells of the nervous system).
    Improves the utilization of glucose by the cells of the nervous system, which improves the energy processes in the brain.
    Improves the dynamics of impulse transmission in the nervous synapses (contacts, between neurocytes), which improves memory, mental capacity, concentration of attention.
    It has an easy psychostimulating effect.
    Promotes the restoration of neurocytes after their damage of a different nature and nature, which leads to a more rapid recovery of motor activity, speech after a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke of the brain.
    Promotes normalization of arterial pressure in hypertensive disease (prolonged increase in systemic blood pressure above normal).
    It has antihypoxic properties, reduces the need for neurocytes in oxygen.
    Has an easy anticonvulsant effect.
After taking the pill, GABA is rapidly absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the therapeutic concentration in the body is reached after 30 minutes after ingestion. The active substance is distributed in the body, freely penetrates the blood-brain barrier and accumulates in the brain tissues. GABA also penetrates the fetus through the placenta during pregnancy and into breast milk while breastfeeding. It is metabolized in the liver and kidneys, with the formation of various intermediate decay products, which are largely excreted in the urine by the kidneys.

Indications for use

The main indications for the use of Aminalon tablets are various pathological states of the brain and structures of the central nervous system, which are accompanied by damage to the neurocytes. These include:
    Vascular pathology of the brain - atherosclerosis of the arteries, hypertension, leading to spasm of the cerebral vessels and impairment of the intensity of blood circulation in its tissues.
    Chronic insufficiency of cerebral circulation, accompanied by a decrease in memory, concentration of attention, mental capacity for work, dizziness, noise in the ears, sleep disturbance (insomnia), coordination of movements.
    Children's cerebral palsy is a lesion of cells in the cerebral cortex due to acute hypoxia (insufficient oxygen supply) during the perinatal period.
    Encephalopathy - metabolic and energy disorders in neurocytes due to alcohol intoxication, after an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
    The lag in the mental development of children older than 5 years, caused by various reasons.
    Age-related dementia is a marked decrease in intelligence and memory in people older than 65, associated with age-related changes in the cells of the nervous system.
    Treatment and prevention of abnormalities in the vestibular apparatus for sea or air sickness (manifested by severe dizziness, nausea, vomiting when motion sickness).
Indications for the use of Aminalon tablets are determined on the basis of the characteristic clinical symptoms and data of additional instrumental and laboratory tests.

For the prevention of motion sickness, the same dosages are used 2-3 days before the proposed trip.

Side effects

Since gamma-aminobutyric acid is a low-toxic product and is synthesized by the cells of the nervous system in its natural form, there are few side effects from using Aminalon tablets, these include:
    Dyspeptic syndrome - nausea, vomiting, bloating (flatulence), unstable stool (constipation is replaced by diarrhea and vice versa).
    Insomnia.
    A rise in body temperature, a feeling of heat in the body.
    Fluctuations in blood pressure - its increase is followed by a subsequent decline.
    Allergic reactions to the skin in the form of rash, itching and urticaria (a characteristic rash and swelling, reminiscent of a nettle burn). More severe allergic reactions in the form of Quincke edema (significant swelling of the skin and subcutaneous tissue with predominant localization on the face or genitals) or anaphylactic shock (systemic multi-organ failure on the background of a critical drop in blood pressure) develops extremely rarely.
When the dosage is reduced, these phenomena usually go away.

Overdose
