EXTRAVERAL 80mg / 20mg tablets medication leaflet

N05CB02 • dry valerian extract + phenobarbital • Nervous system | Hypnotics and sedatives | Barbiturates, combinations

The combination of dry valerian extract and phenobarbital is used for the treatment of sleep disorders, anxiety, and other stress-related conditions. Valerian extract has sedative and anxiolytic properties, while phenobarbital, a barbiturate, enhances sedative effects through its action on GABA receptors in the central nervous system.

This combination is administered orally, usually in tablet form, and the dosage is adjusted based on the severity of symptoms and the patient's response. It is recommended for short-term use to avoid the risk of dependence associated with phenobarbital.

Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, and, in rare cases, allergic reactions. Additionally, phenobarbital may interact with other medications, increasing the risk of adverse effects.

The combination of valerian extract and phenobarbital provides an effective option for managing sleep disorders and anxiety, but its use should be carefully monitored to minimize associated risks.
