Pharmacological Properties of ElzepamPharmachologic effect

Mode of action - Anxiolytic (tranquilizer) benzodiazepine.

Mode of action - an anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, hypnotic, sedative.

Pharmacodynamics

It increases the inhibitory effect of GABA in the transmission of nerve impulses. It stimulates benzodiazepine receptors located in the allosteric center of postsynaptic GABA receptors ascending activating reticular formation of the brain stem and lateral horn neurons of the spinal cord; reduces the excitability of the subcortical structures of the brain (the limbic system, thalamus, hypothalamus), polisinapticheskie inhibits spinal reflexes.

The anxiolytic effect is due to the influence on the amygdala of the limbic system and manifests itself in the reduction of emotional stress, easing anxiety, fear, anxiety.

Sedation due to the influence on the reticular formation of the brain stem and the nonspecific thalamic nuclei and manifested a decrease in symptoms of neurotic origin (anxiety, fear).

On the productive psychotic symptoms genesis (acute delusional, hallucinatory, affective disorders) has practically no effect, it is rarely observed decrease in affective intensity, delusional disorders.

Hypnotic effects associated with inhibition of the cells of the reticular formation of the brain. It reduces the impact of emotional, autonomic and motor stimuli that disturb sleep.

Anticonvulsant action is realized by increasing presynaptic inhibition suppresses the spread of seizure pulse, but does not eliminate the excited state of the hearth.

Central muscle relaxant effect is due to inhibition of polysynaptic spinal afferent inhibitory ways (to a lesser extent and monosynaptic). Perhaps, and direct inhibition of motor nerve and muscle function.

Pharmacokinetics

Pills
After oral administration, is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, TCmax - 1-2 hours, it is metabolized in the liver.. T1 / 2 -. 10/06/18 hours Write mainly kidneys as metabolites.

Solution for in / and the / m
Widely distributed in the body. It is metabolized in the liver. T1 / 2 from the body 6 to 10-18 hour excretion of the drug is mainly through the kidneys as metabolites.

Indications for Elzepam

neurotic, neurosis, psychopathic and psychopathic and other state (irritability, anxiety, nervousness, emotional lability);

reactive psychosis and hypochondriacal disorders (including those resistant to the action of other anxiolytic drugs (tranquilizers);

autonomic dysfunction and sleep disorders;

prophylaxis of conditions of fear and emotional stress;

as an anticonvulsant - temporal and myoclonic epilepsy;

in neurological practice - hyperkinesis, tics, muscle rigidity, autonomic lability.

Contraindications for Elzepam

hypersensitivity (including other benzodiazepines); coma; shock; myasthenia gravis; angle-closure glaucoma (acute onset or predisposition); acute alcohol poisoning (with the weakening of vital functions), narcotic analgesics and hypnotics; Severe COPD (possibly increasing respiratory failure); acute respiratory failure; severe depression (suicidal tendencies may emerge); pregnancy (I term); lactation; childhood and adolescence to 18 years (the safety and effectiveness are not determined).
Precautions: hepatic and / or renal failure, cerebral and spinal ataxia, drug dependency history; the propensity to abuse drugs; organic brain disease, psychosis (possible paradoxical reactions), hypoproteinemia, sleep apnea (or suspected) patients of advanced age.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

The gestation period is only used for emergencies. It has a toxic effect on the fetus and increase the risk of birth defects when used in the I trimester of pregnancy. Therapeutic dose in the later stages of pregnancy can cause depression of the central nervous system of the newborn. The constant use during pregnancy may lead to physical dependence with the development of withdrawal symptoms in the newborn.

Children, especially at a younger age, are very sensitive to the CNS depressant effects of benzodiazepines.

Using just before birth or during labor may cause neonatal respiratory depression, decreased muscle tone, hypotension, hypothermia, and the weakening of the act of sucking (flaccid baby syndrome).

Interaction

Elzepamcompatible with other drugs that cause depression of the central nervous system (hypnotics, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and others.), But complex application must take into account the mutual reinforcement of their activities.

Reduces the effectiveness of levodopa in patients with Parkinson's disease.

It may increase the toxicity of zidovudine.

Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation increase the risk of toxic effects.

Inductors microsomal liver enzymes decrease the efficiency.

Increases concentration of imipramine in blood serum.

Antihypertensive agents may increase the severity of blood pressure lowering.

Against the background of the simultaneous appointment of clozapine may increase the respiratory depression.

In addition to tablets: mutual enhancement effect observed with concomitant administration of central muscle relaxants, narcotic analgesics, ethanol.
