Pharmacological action

The nootropic agent is gamma-amino-beta-phenylbutyric acid hydrochloride. Facilitates GABA-mediated transmission of nerve impulses to the central nervous system (direct effect on GABA receptors), and also has an anxiolytic, psychostimulating, antiplatelet and antioxidant effect.

Improves the functional state of the brain by normalizing tissue metabolism and influencing cerebral circulation (increases the volumetric and linear velocity of cerebral blood flow, reduces cerebral vascular tone, improves microcirculation, and has an antiplatelet effect). Helps reduce or eliminate feelings of anxiety, tension, restlessness and fear, normalizes sleep, and has some anticonvulsant effect.

Does not affect cholinergic and adrenergic receptors.

Extends the latent period and shortens the duration and severity of nystagmus.

Reduces manifestations of asthenia and vasovegetative symptoms (including a feeling of heaviness in the head, sleep disturbances, irritability, emotional lability), increases mental performance.

Improves psychological indicators (attention, memory, speed and accuracy of sensory-motor reactions).

When taken as a course, it increases physical and mental performance, improves memory, and normalizes sleep; improves the condition of patients with motor and speech disorders. Patients with asthenia feel better from the first days of therapy; increases interest and initiative (motivation of activity) without sedation and excitement. When used after severe TBI, it increases the number of mitochondria in the perifocal areas and improves the course of bioenergetic processes in the brain.

In case of neurogenic lesions of the heart and stomach, it normalizes the processes of lipid peroxidation. In older people it does not cause workload and excessive lethargy; the relaxing aftereffect is most often absent. Improves microcirculation in the tissues of the eye, reduces the inhibitory effect of ethanol on the central nervous system. Low toxic.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption is high, penetrates well into all tissues of the body and through the BBB (about 0.1% of the administered dose of the drug penetrates into brain tissue, and in young and elderly people to a much greater extent). Evenly distributed in the liver and kidneys. Metabolized in the liver - 80-95%, metabolites are pharmacologically inactive. Does not accumulate. After 3 hours, it begins to be excreted by the kidneys, while the concentration in the brain tissue does not decrease and it is detected in the brain for another 6 hours. About 5% is excreted by the kidneys unchanged, partially with bile.

Indications

Asthenic and anxious-neurotic states, anxiety, fear, psychopathy. Stuttering and tics in children, enuresis. Urinary retention due to myelodysplasia. Insomnia and nightmares in the elderly. Prevention of anxiety states that arise before surgical interventions and painful diagnostic tests (premedication).

Meniere's disease associated with dysfunctions of the vestibular analyzer of various origins (including otogenic labyrinthitis, vascular and traumatic disorders); prevention of motion sickness during kinetosis.

Primary open-angle (as part of combination therapy).

As an auxiliary therapy in the treatment of alcoholism (for the relief of psychopathological and somatovegetative disorders during withdrawal syndrome).

Treatment of predelirious and delirious states in alcoholism (in combination with conventional detoxification agents).

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to phenibut.

Dosage

Inside, regardless of food intake. The dose, frequency of administration and duration of treatment depend on the indications, age of the patient, and tolerability. A single dose for adults varies from 20 mg to 750 mg, for children - from 20 mg to 250 mg.

Side effects

From the side of the central nervous system: increased irritability, agitation, anxiety, dizziness, headache, drowsiness.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics
The active substance aminophenylbutyric acid hydrochloride is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and phenylethylamine. It has tranquilizing properties, stimulates memory and learning, increases physical performance, eliminates psycho-emotional tension, anxiety, fear and improves sleep. Does not affect cholinergic and adrenergic receptors. Extends the latent period and shortens the duration and severity of nystagmus. Noticeably reduces the manifestation of asthenia and vasovegetative symptoms, including headache, a feeling of heaviness in the head, sleep disturbance, irritability, emotional lability, increases mental performance, improves well-being, increases interest and initiative, motivation for vigorous activity without sedation or agitation.

Unlike tranquilizers, under the influence of aminophenylbutyric acid, psychological indicators (attention, memory, speed and accuracy of sensory-motor reactions) improve. The formation of addiction and dependence on the drug, or “withdrawal” syndrome, was not noted.

Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, it is well absorbed and penetrates into all tissues of the body. About 0.1% of aminophenylbutyric acid penetrates into the brain tissue from the dose of the drug; in young and elderly patients, increased penetration through the blood-brain barrier is possible. After 3 hours, aminophenylbutyric acid is detected in the urine, at the same time the concentration in the brain tissue does not decrease; it is detected in the brain after another 6 hours.

80-95% of the drug is metabolized in the liver to pharmacologically inactive metabolites. 5% is excreted unchanged from the body by the kidneys. The day after taking the drug, aminophenylbutyric acid can only be detected in the urine; it is determined in urine two days after administration, but the detectable amount is 5% of the administered dose. The greatest binding of aminophenylbutyric acid occurs in the liver (80%). When taken repeatedly, the drug does not accumulate in the body.

Indications for use

  • asthenic and anxiety-neurotic conditions;
  • stuttering, tics and enuresis in children;
  • insomnia and night anxiety in the elderly;
  • Meniere's disease, dizziness associated with dysfunctions of the vestibular analyzer of various origins;
  • prevention of motion sickness during kinetosis;
  • as part of complex therapy for alcohol withdrawal syndrome, for the relief of psychopathological and somatovegetative disorders.

Contraindications

  • hypersensitivity to the active substance or auxiliary components of the drug;
  • acute renal failure;
  • pregnancy;
  • breastfeeding period;
  • children under 3 years of age;
  • lactase deficiency, lactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome.

With caution

Patients with erosive and ulcerative diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are recommended to prescribe smaller doses of the drug due to the irritating effect of the drug.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended, since there are not enough clinical observations.

Experimental studies on animals did not establish mutagenic, teratogenic or embryotoxic effects of the drug.
