You should not get carried away with Corvalol, valocordin and valoserdin, since they have a number of serious side effects, said Olga Kozlova, a therapist, candidate of medical sciences, and ultrasound diagnostics doctor, in an interview with aif.ru.
The specialist explained that Corvalol is not exactly a herbal drug, since it contains a potent substance that causes addiction. The doctor added that Corvalol really copes with anxiety, but it works more as a sedative than a medicine. In addition, it has been proven that one of the side effects of taking Corvalol may be the development of dementia. The cardiologist emphasized that it does not improve the condition and does not reduce the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Patients can take herbal preparations, such as hawthorn and motherwort, on their own, but taking them increases the risk of not recognizing the symptoms of unstable angina in time. As for another popular remedy – nitroglycerin – this is already a drug. But at the same time, you don’t need to buy it yourself and carry it with you just in case. You should definitely consult with your doctor about whether the patient needs it.
