Diwaza. Reviews of patients who took the drug, instructions, analogues, composition, price

Release forms and composition of the drug

The drug Divaza is produced in one dosage form - lozenges. The product has the shape of a flat cylinder and is odorless. You can distinguish the original from the fake by its white color and the presence of engravings MATERIA MEDICA on one side (it also has a dividing line) and DIVAZA on the other.

The therapeutic effect of Divaza is due to the following composition:

Tablets are placed in contour cells of 20 pcs. in one blister. The package contains 5 blisters.

What do Divaza tablets help with?

Divaz tablets are prescribed to help the central nervous system. They help restore brain function after damage or in various disorders.

Divaza - what kind of medicine?

Divaza is a Russian-made homeopathic remedy. This drug is available in the form of lozenges and is included in the group of nootropics, antioxidants, and antihypoxants. Due to its positive effect on blood vessels, the drug is also considered an angioprotector.

The composition contains affinity-purified specific antibodies, which have an aqueous-alcoholic dilution and are combined with lactose.

Divaza includes two types of antibodies - to the brain-specific protein S100, as well as to endothelial NO synthase. Both substances do not act alone - in combination they significantly enhance each other’s work.

The tablets are convenient to take by sucking; they are packaged in 20 pieces in a blister, 1-5 blisters per package. The cost of the largest package of 100 tablets is 370 rubles. Among the excipients it contains:

• lactose;
• magnesium stearate;
• microcrystalline cellulose.

The drug has a positive effect on cerebral vessels and brain tissue. This is achieved by changing the activity of special proteins that are responsible for metabolic and information processes. How else does Diwaza affect the brain? Here are the main effects:

• strengthening cell membranes;
• improving the uptake of gamma-aminobutyric acid by brain tissue;
• inhibition of lipid oxidation processes;
• reducing the harmful effects of free radicals;
• normalization of integrative brain function;
• stimulation of repair during tissue hypoxia, during ischemic conditions;
• improving connections between the hemispheres of the head.

Pentoxifylline is recommended to be taken for atherosclerosis, varicose veins and other pathologies. Read more >>

When taken in a course course, the drug provides antidepressant, antiasthenic, neuroprotective effects, and improves memory function. The medicine also strengthens the walls of blood vessels, reduces dystonia, and increases the resistance of brain tissue to damage in the future.

How to take Divaza?

There have been no sufficient studies on the treatment of the above diseases with Divaza in children. Therefore, the drug is prescribed only to adults; therapy is not practiced in children under 18 years of age.

Taking the medicine is very simple - you do not need to drink it with water, it is taken by dissolving one dose in the mouth. The drug must be kept until completely dissolved; it should not be chewed or swallowed. The therapy does not depend on food.

The treatment standards for this remedy are as follows:

• single dose – 1 tablet;
• on the recommendation of a doctor, you can take 2 tablets at a time;
• number of appointments per day – 3;
• in acute cases (after a stroke, head injury, poisoning, neuroinfection, etc.) you can drink Divaza up to 4-6 times a day.

The duration of the course of therapy is determined by the doctor. To normalize memory and increase mental performance, the course is 1-2 months. The same amount of treatment is recommended for insomnia and mild cognitive impairment. Organic damage to the nervous system will require a longer course - up to 4-6 months.

Contraindications and side effects

Divaza does not produce a sedative effect, does not provoke drowsiness or lethargy in patients during the day, and does not relax muscles. This drug can be taken for a long time without fear, as there is no addiction or dependence on the treatment.

Due to the form of administration and the presence of only homeopathic components, Divaza does not have a negative effect on the heart, kidneys, stomach, or intestines.

There are few contraindications to treatment with Divaza. The drug should not be taken if you are allergic to lactose, since milk sugar is included in the components.

You should also not drink the product if you have the following conditions:

• intestinal form of allergy to components;
• syndrome of malabsorption of glucose, galactose;
• Congenital lactase deficiency.

Usually taking the drug does not cause side effects. Only with an overdose there is a risk of developing diarrhea, digestion problems, and abdominal pain. During pregnancy and lactation, taking Divaza is possible only under strict indications.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Divaza (reviews from patients who took the drug contain predominantly positive information) is a combination drug, the main components of which have the following effects:

• block the harmful effects of free radicals on brain cells and nerve cells;
• prevent oxygen starvation of tissues, as a result, the activity of brain cells improves:
• protect nerve cells from damage;
• have a calming effect, eliminating depression and reducing feelings of anxiety and fear, without the effect of drowsiness;
• activates the activity of protein S, which is involved in the process of growth, nutrition of nerve cells and in the transmission of nerve impulses;
• normalize metabolic processes in brain tissue;
• restore the condition and activity of blood vessels, as a result, blood flow in the brain is activated;
• normalize the condition of the cell membrane and improve their permeability;
• accelerate the process of restoration of blood vessels and blood flow when they are disrupted;
• protect brain tissue from the harmful effects of toxins;
• communication between the hemispheres of the brain improves;
• auxiliary components help strengthen bone tissue and joints and normalize the activity of the cardiovascular system.

  

Thanks to this action, not only the activity of brain cells is restored, but also memory improves and strengthens. The components of the drug do not cause addiction or dependence, therefore, if long-term use of Divaza is necessary, the therapeutic effect does not decrease.

Since the active ingredients practically do not penetrate into the blood, it is impossible to determine after what time the maximum effectiveness of taking the tablets occurs, as well as the removal of components from the body.

Positive effects

Divaza tablets, reviews of which confirm their effectiveness, can provide such an effect when used correctly:

— stimulation of all reparative processes in damaged areas of the brain with an ischemic nature;

- normalization of sleep, falling asleep quickly, as well as eliminating headaches and dizziness;

• heart pain or increased heart rate. Due to the positive effect on blood vessels and the calming effect, the severity of symptoms is reduced;
• prolonged brain hypoxia due to suffocation, injury or gas poisoning;
• in complex therapy for restoring the condition of bone tissue and joints.

  

It is also recommended to take Divaza during increased mental stress, for example, annual reporting, re-certification at work or entrance exams to a higher educational institution.

Pharmacological properties

The therapeutic effect after taking Divaza tablets occurs due to the active components of the drug, which, after penetrating the central structures of the nervous system, immediately exert several biological properties on the body as a whole.

S-100 protein antibodies have a pronounced antioxidant, antihypoxic, and neuroprotective effect, affect metabolic processes in the body, suppress the decrease in amplitude, and increase plasticity in the limbic structures of the brain. This effect of the drug allows for a positive effect on the integrative activity of the brain.

NO synthesis antibodies contained in Divaza tablets can increase the activity of the endothelial enzyme, restore the production of nitric oxide (NO), and reduce and eliminate endothelial dysfunction. Clinical trials have shown that Divaza has a positive effect on reparin processes in the focus of ischemic damage to brain tissue.

The use of Divaza tablets makes it possible to have a fairly strong neuroprotective effect, enhance the vegetative stabilizing effect, and normalize the vegetative status. This effect of the drug allows you to increase the brain’s resistance to various toxic influences, eliminate cognitive impairment, restore the functioning of the central nervous system, and increase mental and physical performance.

The pronounced antioxidant effect of the drug allows you to block the effects of free radicals, protect brain cells and the nervous system from their effects. In addition, the drug increases the resistance of neurocytes, thereby ensuring the supply of oxygen to the cellular structures of the brain. Protein S-100, as part of the drug, is responsible for the regulation of nerve impulses in the brain, reduces the amplitude and intensity of nerve impulses, thereby improving the functioning of the subcortical nuclei and the reticular formation in the brain.

The drug Divaza has a combined effect that allows you to restore integrative functions, improve impulse transmission, normalize the vegetative status of the nervous system, and restore neurocytes. This effect of the drug allows you to reduce feelings of anxiety, reduce fear, increase the overall tone of the body, as well as mental and physical performance. The drug does not have a sedative or hypnotic effect and is not addictive when taken for a long time.

In order to find out in more detail what effect the drug has on the structures of the brain and the central nervous system, it is worth describing its positive properties after administration, which would be understood by a person who does not have a medical education. Firstly, Divaza tablets can be intended for acute or chronic pathologies caused by cerebrovascular accidents. Taking it will allow you to achieve stable and long-lasting results, since it has the following properties on the human body:

1. Increases physical and psychological activity.
2. Improves cognitive functions.
3. Reduces the frequency and intensity of headaches.
4. Eliminates dizziness.
5. Normalizes mental activity.
6. Improves and normalizes sleep.
7. Relieves anxiety and fear.
8. Stabilizes the emotional background.

Taking the drug for a long time does not cause lethargy, drowsiness, addiction or muscle weakness. Moreover, Divaza tablets are ideally combined with other medications and have a minimum number of contraindications.

Contraindications

Divaza (reviews from patients who took the drug describe a minimal list of contraindications) is prohibited for use in the following cases:

• allergy to the components of the tablets;
• intolerance to the elements included in the drug;
• the presence of a malignant tumor in the brain tissue.

It is not recommended to use Divaza during pregnancy and lactation. The effect of the drug on the fetus has not been studied, and it is also unknown whether the components of the drug pass into breast milk and how they can affect the development of the child.

Compound

Divaza contains antibodies to calcium binding protein and endothelial NO synthase.

These substances enhance each other’s effects and improve the tone of cerebral vessels. They go into a release-active form, but do not disappear completely.

Excipients include:

• magnesium salt of stearic acid;
• microcellulose;
• lactose.

Available in the form of tablets, each containing 6 mg of active substance.

Due to the saturation of nerve cells with chemical elements, metabolic processes and specific reactions are enhanced.

The membrane charge becomes negative, and effective transmission of the excitation impulse occurs.

Instructions for use, dosage

Divaza should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. Since the dosage may differ from that stated in the instructions, depending on the severity of the pathology and the presence of chronic diseases. Patients who ignore these conditions are more likely to leave negative reviews.

According to the instructions, Divaza should be used with the following dosage:

The tablets should be taken regardless of food intake. At the same time, it does not need to be bitten and chewed. The tablet should be placed under the tongue until completely absorbed. If the drug is chewed, its therapeutic effect is reduced. If it is necessary to take multiple tablets per day, equal time intervals should be maintained between doses.

If you skipped taking a pill, you do not need to increase the next dosage; it is recommended to continue the course as usual. Improvement in well-being is noted 2 weeks after the start of treatment.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Divaza is a combination drug.

Antibodies to the brain-specific protein S-100 contained in Divaza have an antihypoxic, antioxidant, neuroprotective and anxiolytic effect. They modify the functional activity of the S-100 protein, which in brain tissue couples metabolic and information processes. These antibodies, having a membranotropic effect, cause suppression of action potential generation and a decrease in amplitude; modulate synaptic plasticity in the limbic structures of the brain, reticular formation, hippocampus; contribute to enhancing the inhibitory effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the central nervous system (CNS); exhibit sigma-1 receptor agonist properties in vitro; inhibit lipid peroxidation processes.

Antibodies to the brain-specific protein S-100 normalize the integrative activity of the brain, resulting in many psychopharmacological balanced effects: antidepressant, neuroprotective, antiamnestic, anxiolytic, antiasthenic.

Antibodies to endothelial NO synthase contained in Divaza have an endothelial protective effect, increase the activity of the endothelial NO synthase enzyme, eliminate endothelial dysfunction, and restore endothelial production of nitric oxide (NO). Antibodies to endothelial NO synthase have a positive effect on NO-dependent vasodilation.

In the course of experimental studies, it was found that Divaza has a stimulating effect on the reparative processes taking place in the focus of ischemic brain damage.

The action of the drug components in combination enhances the neuroprotective activity of antibodies to the S-100 protein. The vegetative stabilizing effect is strengthened and the vegetative status is normalized. The joint work of antibodies helps to increase the brain's resistance to various toxic attacks due to the synergistic effect of both components on neuronal plasticity. The use of Divaza helps restore interhemispheric connections of the brain and improve integrative activity, and helps eliminate cognitive impairment. Thanks to the action of the components of the drug, reparative processes are stimulated, the restoration of central nervous system functions is accelerated, mental activity is activated, cerebral blood flow increases, learning and memory processes are restored, and somatovegetative manifestations are normalized.

Divaza promotes: elimination of asthenovegetative symptoms; improvement of cognitive functions; increasing activity and motivation; reducing the manifestation of physical and mental asthenia; normalization of mental activity; reducing the manifestation of emotional mobility; suppression of depression, anxiety; reducing the intensity of headaches, dizziness; improving sleep quality.

The components of the drug do not have a hypnotic effect, do not have a muscle relaxant effect, and do not cause addiction or dependence.

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of Divaza have not yet been studied, since modern physicochemical methods of analysis (high-performance liquid chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) do not allow accurately assessing the content of ultra-low doses of antibodies in biological material.

Side effects

A negative reaction from taking Divaza is extremely rare and can manifest itself in the form of an allergy.

When found:

• itchy skin rash;

  

• breathing disorders;
• swelling of the limbs;
• sudden cough or watery eyes;
• rush of blood to the face.

It is necessary to stop taking the drug, since an allergic reaction is dangerous due to hidden internal manifestations. With severe allergies, Quincke's edema may develop. In this case, an emergency call to the ambulance is required.

Pharmacological group

Immunoglobulins to the brain-specific protein S-100 protect tissues from the negative effects of free radicals and prevent oxygen starvation. In addition, they protect nerve cells from pathogenic factors and eliminate feelings of fear and anxiety.

They have membrane tropism (barrier function of membranes), cause a decrease in amplitude and suppress the generation of action potentials, enhance inhibition processes in the cerebral cortex, as they affect GABA, block lipid peroxidation, modulate synaptic plasticity in the subcortical structures of the brain

They have antidepressant, antiasthenic and antiamnestic effects.

Endothelial NO synthase immunoglobulins increase the activity of the endothelial NO synthase enzyme. They restore the production of nitrous oxide by the endothelium, as a result of which the lumen of blood vessels expands, eliminate endothelial dysfunction, and have an endothelial protective effect.

It has been established that active substances affect tissue repair processes in areas of ischemic brain damage.

The drug does not have a sedative or muscle relaxant effect, and does not cause physical or mental dependence.

The drug enters the body in very small quantities and its pharmacokinetics cannot be studied using modern physical and chemical methods of analysis.

Overdose

When taking pills for a long time or accidentally consuming a large amount of the drug, the following symptoms may occur:

• severe pain in the stomach;
• nausea with profuse vomiting;
• severe heartburn;
• flatulence and bloating;
• repeated loose stools;
• double vision;
• increased sweating.

  

In case of overdose, gastric lavage is necessary, followed by the use of sorbents. If there is no improvement in your health, then you need to call emergency help.

Storage conditions and shelf life

Store in a place protected from light and moisture, at temperatures up to 25 °C. Keep away from children.

Shelf life – 3 years.

What to choose

The most popular analogues of Divaz are Piracetam and Actovegin. At the same time, Piracetam can be used even by children with hypoxic brain damage in the form of a solution

In addition, this drug helps adolescents improve attention when it is deficient, as well as cerebral circulation. Actovegin, unlike Divaza, is more effective in the treatment of neurological pathologies

The drug is often prescribed for hypoxia and birth injuries. Therefore, if it is necessary to treat children, then these analogues are the most effective, but Divaza is more often used to eliminate pathologies in adult patients. Before purchasing and using any substitute drug, you should consult your doctor. Only an experienced specialist will be able to assess the patient’s condition and the complexity of the disease.
