Valerian: indications and contraindications
Valerian tablets, the instructions for use indicate this, are indicated for increased nervous excitability. The cumulative effect helps stabilize blood pressure and heart rate. This contributes to the onset of “inner peace” and the return of the ability to realistically assess the situation in the world around us.
Also, valerian tablets, the instructions emphasize this, help cope with insomnia. But at the same time, the drug is not a potent sleeping pill, so you should not count on getting a quick effect. But with the right attitude, after just a few days you can fall asleep faster. But it will be possible to completely stabilize sleep no earlier than after 2-4 weeks.
As part of complex therapy, valerian tablets, the instructions for use focus on this, can be used to treat cardiovascular pathologies. In combination with other targeted drugs, valerian will help to quickly cope with migraines and symptoms of vegetative-vascular dystonia.
Contraindication is hypersensitivity to the main active ingredient and other components that are used in the production of tablets. This means that you need to carefully study the composition of the medicine before use. Valerian tablets are also strictly prohibited in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. In the 2nd and 3rd trimester, the decision to take medication should be made by the doctor.
It is advisable to stop taking sedatives before the age of 18. Valerian, the instructions indicate this, is contraindicated for children under 4 years of age. Due to the characteristics of the child’s body, the drug can have a strong depressant effect on the nervous system, which is unacceptable for full development. In addition, since valerian tablets, the instructions confirm this, are a multicomponent medicine, the substances in its composition can provoke allergic reactions.
Other contraindications:
- Bradycardia.
- Arterial hypotension
- Pathologies accompanied by inhibition of central nervous system activity.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug (including bee products), sucrase/isomaltase deficiency, lactase deficiency, fructose intolerance, lactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, children under 12 years of age.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
The use of the drug is contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy. The use of the drug in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and during breastfeeding is possible if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus and child. You should consult your doctor.
Effects of Valerian
Valerian essential oil contains more than 100 components. But clinical studies have proven their low biological activity. That is why, in the treatment of serious disorders, valerian tablets are prescribed only as an additional remedy in combination with other drugs.
But in cases of minor disorders, for example, the occurrence of insomnia due to nervous strain, the drug is considered effective if taken regularly. The alkaloids contained in the medicine have a beneficial effect on the nervous system. When taken correctly, valerian can stabilize the condition against a background of stress. Tablets help cope with the following problems:
- Nervousness.
- Hysteria.
- Insomnia.
In addition, when used correctly, essential oils and valeric acid help:
- Normalization of heart rhythm.
- Improving the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Reduce pain in various pathologies.
- Reducing blood pressure.

Valerian
Valerian is a herbal medicine that has a mild sedative effect. Available in the form of a dry tablet extract. The main driving force of the drug is the essential oil, including bornyl isovalerate and borneol acetate. Other components of the extract have a sedative effect - valepotriates (valtrate and isovaltrate), substances formed as a result of their breakdown (valtroxal, baldrinal, homobaldrinal) and a couple of alkaloids in the form of valerine and hotenin. Valerian extract helps immerse a person in natural, normal sleep, protecting the body from external irritants. The sedative effect develops slowly, but is stable. The duration of the medication course and the regularity of use of the drug are of great importance: otherwise, the sedative potential of valerian is almost completely neutralized. Valerian increases the affinity of GABA receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid, which induces inhibition processes in the cerebral cortex. It is characteristic that such an effect can be achieved exclusively with the use of valerian extract: its individual components (essential oil, valepotriates, sesquiterpenes) when administered in isolation do not cause sedation. The drug has a weak antispasmodic effect (especially in case of biliary dyskinesia of the hyperkinetic type), has a choleretic effect, stimulates the secretory activity of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, causes moderate bradycardia, and increases the lumen of the coronary arteries.
The combination of natural compounds of the drug, using neurohumoral mechanisms and directly affecting the conduction system of the heart muscle, controls the activity of the heart: slows down its rhythm, ensures dilatation of the coronary arteries.
Valerian is indicated for increased excitability, somnological disorders, migraine headaches, mild functional disorders of the heart and digestive system. Single dose – 1 tablet, frequency of administration – 2-3 times a day, peculiarity of administration – recommendation to drink 100 ml of water, the best time of administration is after meals. The duration of the therapeutic course is determined by the doctor individually. He also sets the optimal dose, guided by the age, medical history and individual characteristics of the patient. The drug is well tolerated and has a favorable safety profile. Side effects occur mainly when taking high doses and are not serious: lethargy, decreased performance, constipation. In rare cases, allergies are possible. Valerian potentiates the effect of hypnotics, anxiolytics (anti-anxiety drugs), and analgesics. Combinations with cardiotonics and antihypertensive drugs are possible. Valerian combines well with medications used to treat cardiovascular pathology and diseases of the digestive tract.
