What is Tenoten, and is it possible to overdose with the drug?

In microbiological research of the brain, in 1965, a revolutionary breakthrough occurred. A family of universal macromolecules of the S100 protein, as well as its isoforms and conformers, have been identified, participating in all brain processes that are responsible for the perception and integration of incoming information. It has been proven that these proteins are not only responsible for the development of innate behavior and the maintenance of various types of memory, but are also necessary for normal general cellular homeostasis, and also determine the immune functions of the central nervous system.

This discovery allowed modern medicine to obtain a range of drugs and diagnostic markers for heart attack, stroke and some forms of cancer.

Information about the medicine

There are two forms of the drug on sale: Tenoten and Tenoten for Children.
These are homeopathic remedies that contain one active ingredient, but in different dosages. The medicine is available in white lozenges. They have a flat-cylindrical shape, beveled edges, and a dividing line. On the side where there is a risk, the name of the manufacturer is printed, on the other side the name of the medication is written in Latin: “Tenoten”.

As the main component, the tablets contain affinity-purified antibodies to the brain-specific protein S-100.

In addition, the drug contains E 572, E 460, and milk sugar as fillers.

The tablets have a calming effect, help cope with causeless anxiety and overcome stress. In case of poisoning, oxygen starvation, conditions after a stroke, taking this remedy reduces the area of ​​damage, improves memory and concentration.

Tenoten suppresses lipid peroxidation and protects tissues from the aggressive effects of free radicals.

What is Tenoten

This drug was created by NPF Materia-Medica Holding (2002), based on research conducted in 1999-2000 by Russian scientists. The ultra-small dose of the main active ingredient has made it possible to classify Tenoten as a drug with a high safety profile for different age groups.

Tenoten is a modern homeopathic (!) neuropsychotropic remedy, available in the form of absorbable tablets with different dosages - for adults and for children. The main active ingredient of Tenoten is artificially obtained, affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies to proteins of the S100 family, which affect the activity of cellular S100 macromolecules, thereby regulating the information and metabolic mechanisms of the cerebral cortex. The tablets are based on a combination of cellulose, lactose and magnesium stearate.

Tenoten is used both independently and as an auxiliary sedative, anti-stress and anti-asthenic agent. A single dose of tablets relieves anxiety, and treatment for 1-3 months helps strengthen the nervous system, improves memory, and helps increase concentration.

In its stress-preventive and post-stress effects, Tenoten is supposedly superior to Diazepam, Seduxen, Fenozepam and Proproten. In addition, unlike other antipsychotics, tablets with S100 protein antibodies do not have anticholinergic, hypnotic-sedative and muscle relaxant effects on the body, therefore they do not worsen well-being, but, on the contrary, increase concentration and level of performance.

It is worth separately noting the advantages of Tenoten - absolute compatibility with any other medications, lack of reactions with the metabolic products of ethyl alcohol in the blood. An overdose of Tenoten is practically impossible, since the drug belongs to the group of homeopathic remedies.

However, doctors believe that it is at this time that the child’s psyche needs special protection from overexertion. Sedatives will come to the rescue.

The use of Tenoten in patients with congenital lactase deficiency or lactose intolerance can cause digestive disorders and functional dyspepsia. Typical symptoms indicating a possible disruption of the metabolic processes necessary for the breakdown of galactose into glucose molecules are cramping pain in the stomach and intestines, severe intestinal colic and bloating, gurgling and rumbling in the abdomen, nausea (vomiting is possible). If such signs appear during treatment with Tenoten, you should consult a doctor and exclude possible contraindications associated with metabolic disorders and the digestibility of milk sugar.

Release form

The medicine is produced in Russia. Release form: lozenges. There are two types of the drug: for children and for adults. Tenoten for children has 3 types of packaging: 20, 40 and 100 tablets, adults produce 20 or 40 pieces.

The names of the components of the drug are identical, but the concentration of the active substance in packaging for children is 10 times lower. So, for adults, Tenoten has a dosage of the main substance of 10-15 ng/g, and for children, 10-16 ng/g. The amount of antibodies in different forms of one tablet reaches 3 mg. The excipients contained in the drug are stearic acid, lactose and cellulose.

Treatment and possible consequences of overdose

An overdose of a homeopathic remedy does not lead to serious health problems; treatment is limited to symptomatic therapy.

But if the medicine is individually intolerant, it can cause allergies. In addition, Tenoten contains milk sugar, which is contraindicated for galactosemia, hypolactasemia, impaired absorption of dextrose and galactose. Consumption of lactose in these pathologies can threaten the patient's life. The lethal dose of Tenoten in this case for humans is unknown.

In mild cases of lactose intolerance, taking a homeopathic remedy can provoke the following problems:

1. Milk sugar accumulates in the intestines and causes fluid retention. This can cause indigestion, increased gas formation, and bloating.
2. If milk sugar is quickly absorbed in the small intestine, then a large amount of breakdown products are released into its lumen, which is fraught with the development of poisoning, the symptoms of which resemble signs of food intoxication.
3. Lactose, which is not digested and is not excreted from the body, is a good nutrient medium for the proliferation of pathogenic microflora. This leads to the development of putrefactive processes that negatively affect health.

The homeopathic remedy contains filler E572, or magnesium stearate, which, when entering the body, combines with hydrochloric acid of the stomach, resulting in the formation of magnesium sulfate. If the latter is taken in combination with alcohol, alcohol-containing medications, or energy drinks, then it becomes poison.

What changes in the body occur during VSD?

The doctor orders an examination, during which no abnormalities are found in the body, the internal organs function normally, and no pathology is identified. The reason lies in the fact that the autonomic system cannot cope with its work and begins to give incorrect commands to other parts of the body. Patients are often prescribed Tenoten for vegetative-vascular dystonia; with the help of this drug it is possible to stabilize the patient’s well-being.

The main function of the autonomic nervous system is to control the body's reactions to any provocation of an irritating nature. This department monitors the consistency of the internal environment and is directly involved in responding to such influences. The brain monitors these mechanisms, which can be both psychological and physiological in nature.

There are sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, each of them performs specific tasks.

The work of the sympathetic part:

1. regulation of vascular tone, expansion of the lumen of the artery;
2. relaxation of the bladder;
3. decrease in the intensity of salivation;
4. dilated pupils;
5. increased heart rate;
6. inhibition of enzyme synthesis and peristalsis in the intestinal zone;
7. dilating effect on the bronchi, improves lung ventilation.

There are medications designed to help stabilize the activity of the sympathetic department; Tenoten is one of the representatives of such drugs prescribed for VSD. However, you should not self-medicate; it is better to consult a doctor about taking the medication.

The work of the parasympathetic part:

• constriction of the pupils;
• stimulation of saliva production;
• decrease in the strength and frequency of contractile activity of the heart;
• dilation of some blood vessels, in particular in the genitals and in the brain;
• narrowing of the arteries in the heart area (coronary) and in the lung area;
• contraction of the bladder walls;
• strengthening the synthesis of enzymes and intestinal motility;
• decreased ventilation of the pulmonary system, as well as narrowing of the bronchi.

Having studied the functions of the vegetative department in the body, it becomes clear that such a sphere has a lot of reflexes affecting absolutely all parts of the body. If this system fails, causing vegetative-vascular disorders or other unpleasant processes, the person will feel unwell, and any reactions in his body will not be able to occur correctly. Such disorders provoke a large number of different manifestations; symptoms can be very diverse.

Causes of VSD:

1. osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, as well as scoliosis;
2. allergic reactions;
3. connective tissue dysplasia;
4. diseases of the nervous system;
5. endocrine pathologies (diabetes mellitus, thyrotoxicosis) and others;
6. peptic ulcer;
7. arterial hypertension;
8. mental disorders;
9. atherosclerotic lesions;
10. skull injuries.

Most often, childhood is characterized by an increased risk of dystonia, but the disease also often affects adolescents and women during menopause. There is a direct connection between the development of the disease and the state of hormonal levels. Changes in hormone levels provoke disruptions in the functioning of the autonomic system, so the period of puberty and the menopause stage are especially dangerous in the lives of the fairer sex. The hypotonic type of the disease also occurs. Elderly patients suffer more from this type of disease. Blood pressure problems are a big challenge and doctors deal with them every day.

Manifestation table

In fact, there are many symptoms of vegetative-vascular dystonia, it is difficult to list them all. Some people are very bothered by headaches, intolerance to stuffiness, cold or heat, while others are susceptible to nervousness, depression, as well as changes in the color of the skin - the tint becomes bluish or red. Most of these patients are weather-sensitive and react sharply to every sudden change in weather conditions, with increased symptoms of VSD.

Medicine can offer a small list of drugs that can reduce the activity of the disease and manifestations, and Tenoten is on their list.

Reviews from neurologists

Clinical studies have proven that when taken as a course, Tenoten has a prolonged effect. During the use of the drug, the processes of “excitation-inhibition” in the nervous system are restored. The body begins to work normally, so the effect of using Tenoten lasts for 1 month after the end of therapy.

My son entered first grade and problems immediately arose due to his hyperactivity. The child could not sit through a single lesson, which interfered with the work of both the teacher and his classmates. I had to seek help from a neurologist, who prescribed Tenoten.

After several days of taking the medicine, it showed its effectiveness. The son not only behaves calmer, but his academic performance has also increased, he has become more collected, and his concentration has improved.

Reviews from adults on forums are mostly positive, which only confirms the high effectiveness of treatment with Tenoten.

I work as an accountant, most of the time I am in a state of stress due to high responsibility and constant mistakes of my subordinates. The nervous disorder reached its climax - I almost stopped sleeping at night.

After seeing a doctor, I decided to take my health seriously. I took a vacation, went to the sea, and began taking Tenoten to stabilize my psycho-emotional background. This, as the doctor said, is an analogue of the famous Deprim.

The tablets are well absorbed and there are no side effects. In a couple of months I brought my mental state back to normal, of course, not without the help of the drug.

I prescribe Tenoten for stress, nervous tension and other disorders.

The medicine is homeopathic, which eliminates a negative reaction from the body. It is convenient to take without interruption from work activities.

The active substances do not cause drowsiness, and there is no addiction to the drug. During therapy, on the contrary, stimulation of mental activity is noted.

A sedative is included in therapy for mental stress, irritability and other nervous disorders that occur due to stress and depression.

To achieve the desired effect, you need to take it in a course. The dosage and duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician.
