Reviews from doctors

Solomatina Lyudmila Sergeevna, 43 years old, Moscow

To relieve stress and tension, I try to recommend herbs in different forms. Peony tincture as a sedative is an excellent remedy for such cases.

Ivantsova Irina Petrovna, 34 years old, Smolensk

I often prescribe peony tincture to my patients during menopause. Helps with sudden changes in mood, hot flashes.

Kuznetsov Viktor Aleksandrovich, 56 years old, Kirov

Often patients, especially older ones, complain of sleep disturbances. At this age they are already taking pills. Since you don’t want to add another chemical in this case, I often recommend peony tincture for sleep.

Overdose

When using the drug in the dosages described in the instructions for use, the risk of overdose is minimized. When using the composition in significant doses, the following symptoms may occur:

• decreased blood pressure;
• drowsiness;
• dizziness;
• nausea and vomiting.

If these symptoms occur, symptomatic treatment is carried out.

Interactions with drugs

Peony tincture should not be used in conjunction with sleeping pills, tranquilizing, antipsychotic and sedative medications. It enhances their impact, which can lead to a lethargic state, a feeling of intoxication, coordination problems, mental disorders, and fainting.

When used in parallel with tonics (rhodiola, eleutherococcus, ginseng), peony suppresses the action of the latter and neutralizes their effect.

The tincture can be used as part of other useful plant complexes, such as motherwort, valerian, and hawthorn. But the dosage, components of the mixture and the scheme of its use must be regulated by a doctor.
