Possibility of use in children
On websites and forums you can find recommendations for the use of Novo-Passit in children. It is believed that any drug is safe and all of them can be used in children. In fact, many medicinal plants are contraindicated for children. Combined preparations from these herbs should also not be given to children. One of these medications is Novo-Passit.
If you look carefully at the composition of the drug, you can find plants that are recommended for children. For example, lemon balm, valerian, and elderberry are used from infancy in small dosages and in the form of decoctions. However, components such as hops and hawthorn exclude the use of novo-passit in children.
Hops are a toxic substance to the body that is very difficult to dose. In case of an overdose of hops, a person experiences the same symptoms as with alcohol abuse - nausea, vomiting, dizziness, impaired coordination of movements, confusion. In Novo-Passit, the concentration of hops corresponds to the adult norm; for a child it is already toxic. Before the age of two, hops are completely contraindicated. Also, children under two years old should not take another component of Novo-Passit - guaifenesin.
Another toxic component of the medicine is hawthorn. This plant is beneficial only in moderate doses and when used correctly. Hawthorn can cause gastrointestinal disorders, intestinal colic, and heart rhythm disturbances in children. Under 12 years of age, hawthorn is contraindicated.
All components of novo-passit are contained in the drug in adult dosages. It is not recommended to give children even a few drops of novo-passit syrup, since it contains a large amount of substances toxic to the child. For example, 1 ml of the drug contains 100 mg of ethyl alcohol. For an adult this is not a significant dose, but for a small child it can be very dangerous.
"Novopassit": instructions
The drug must be taken an hour after eating, which helps eliminate the gag reflex.
Persons over 12 years of age are prescribed one tablet of medication three times a day. Capsules are washed down with water, but if necessary, it can be crushed.
The duration of the Novopassit course varies from 10 to 14 days. In rare cases, therapy can be extended to one month.
How to take the drug correctly?
The solution is taken orally before meals. The usual dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is five milliliters. If additional treatment is required, the dose of Novopassit can be increased to 10 milliliters three times a day. The duration of therapy is prescribed by the doctor. As a rule, it is approximately 21 days.
For fatigue and drowsiness during the daytime, the dosage of the drug is reduced to two and a half milliliters. If nausea occurs after consuming the drug, it can be used after meals.
Adverse reactions
According to the instructions for Novopassit, increasing the dosage may cause a number of undesirable effects:
- pain in the gastrointestinal tract;
- increased salivation;
- dry mouth;
- feeling of nausea;
- vomiting reflex;
- burning sensation in the esophagus;
- a pathological disease in which the patient experiences increased watery bowel movements;
- intestinal obstruction is a syndrome characterized by partial or complete disruption of the movement of contents along the digestive tract and caused by a mechanical obstruction or disruption of intestinal motor function;
- dizziness;
- weakness;
- decreased attention;
- itching;
- redness of the skin;
- allergic rash on the body;
- dermatitis of predominantly allergic origin, characterized by the rapid appearance of severely itchy blisters;
- swelling of the nasal mucosa;
- a disease that manifests itself when the smooth muscles of the bronchi decrease and their lumen narrows.
Based on reviews of Novopassit, it is known that the medicine is well tolerated by patients if the required dosage is observed.
If all rules of use are followed, the risk of developing negative reactions is reduced to zero. If allergic reactions occur, it is possible to develop anaphylaxis (an acute, life-threatening reaction to a particular allergen, which is accompanied by swelling, suffocation, muscle spasms and severe pain) or Quincke's edema after oral administration of the medication. If side effects occur, therapy should be stopped and you should go to the hospital for medical help.
In case of an overdose of Novopassit, the patient is sent to a hospital, where he is given symptomatic therapy.
Drug interactions
The use of Novopassit in tablets with other sedatives is prohibited, since such interaction increases the risk of overdose.
During therapy, the patient is not recommended to use medications that contain ethyl alcohol, and also should not take strong drinks. When Novopassit is combined with alcohol, the negative effect on the nervous system increases.
When combining the drug with muscle relaxants, the patient may experience excessive muscle weakness.
The medication contains St. John's wort extract, which reduces the therapeutic effect of hormonal drugs.
Compatibility with alcoholic drinks
When taken simultaneously with sleeping pills of any pharmacological group, the sedative effect is doubled. It is not recommended to mix such drugs.
When taken simultaneously with antidepressants, Novopassit can smooth out the manifestations of hypomania and agitation. However, such a combination is undesirable on an ongoing basis: usually, as a cover for the side effects of antidepressants, doctors prescribe tranquilizers or nootropics with a much more powerful sedative effect than the sedative Novopassit syrup.
If treatment with antibiotics is necessary, it is better to stop taking Novopassit. After treatment of the underlying diseases, the course can be continued.
Ethyl alcohol, which is part of any alcoholic beverage, is itself a fairly powerful sedative and depressant. Despite the fact that a course of taking Novopassit syrup during withdrawal symptoms can significantly alleviate the condition of the patient’s nervous system, direct combination of syrup with alcoholic beverages should be avoided.
Depending on the amount of syrup drunk and the dosage, a rather deep sleepy state may develop, lasting from 12 to 14 hours. It is dangerous because when vomit is expelled (which is normal for any poisoning), a person may not wake up, resulting in death from asphyxia due to obstruction of the respiratory tract.
special instructions
While taking Novopassit capsules, adults are prohibited from drinking alcohol, as this increases the risk of side effects and depression of the central nervous system.
People with acute diseases of the stomach and intestines should take Novopassit with extreme caution and only after consulting a doctor. If, a week after starting to take the medication, negative symptoms do not disappear or become even more pronounced, then the patient should consult a therapist. Perhaps this drug is not suitable for him.
During the treatment period, the risk of an overdose of Novopassit increases, resulting in the likelihood of developing photosensitivity.
Since the drug contains lactose, people with congenital intolerance to this component should avoid this drug to avoid negative reactions.
According to reviews of Novopassit, while taking the medication you must refrain from driving a vehicle or using complex mechanisms that require an instant reaction. The solution should not be taken by patients with problems with the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the digestive system.
The sedative "Novopassit" contains fructose and glucose, which is important to consider for patients with diabetes. The medicine contains ethyl alcohol, so it is not advisable to use the medicine for people with chronic alcoholism.
If you have questions or doubts about the use of the drug, you should consult a medical professional.
Overdose
Novo-Passit can be bought at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription and taken independently, while observing the doses and frequency of administration recommended in the instructions.
The drug can be used to treat various pathological conditions accompanied by increased nervous excitability, sleep disorders, increased
and anxiety.
The main indications for the use of novo-passit are:
- Neurasthenia. A mental disorder that develops as a result of exposure to psycho-emotional trauma, prolonged overwork, chronic lack of sleep, and so on. It manifests itself as increased irritability, aggressive behavior, and rapid fatigue when performing physical or mental work.
- Neurotic disorders in old age. In the process of aging, a restructuring of a person’s mental state occurs, which can manifest itself as passivity, lethargy, lack of interest in life or, conversely, irritability, conflict, and pickiness. In the first case, qualified medical intervention, including drug and psychological therapy, is often required. At the same time, with increased nervous excitability and irritability, novo-passit can have a pronounced therapeutic effect.
- "Manager Syndrome" It develops in people whose work involves great responsibility, as well as frequent conflict situations and emotional stress. It manifests itself as a constant feeling of anxiety and fear, irritability, disruption of the process of falling asleep and frequent awakenings at night.
- Irritable bowel syndrome. This is a functional bowel disease in which patients complain of constant or recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, and rare (less than 3 times a week) or too frequent (more than 3 times a day) bowel movements. They also often have an imperative (excessively strong) urge to defecate, which is not accompanied by bowel movements. It is important that more than 25% of such patients have mental disorders (manifested by anxiety, panic attacks, irritability, and so on). It is to eliminate these manifestations that novo-passit can be used (as part of complex therapy).
- Itchy dermatoses. This is a group of chronic skin diseases resulting from dysfunction of the nervous system. Frequent stress, constant nervous tension, mental and emotional overload, and so on can contribute to the development of pathology. The disease manifests itself with severe itching (burning) in various parts of the body, as a result of which a person can scratch the skin until it bleeds. Treatment consists of using anti-inflammatory and antiallergic drugs, as well as normalizing the patient’s mental state (for this you can take Novo-Passit or other medications with a similar effect).
characterized by disruption of the process of falling asleep, frequent awakenings at night, as well as a feeling of fatigue immediately after waking up. The cause of the development of this condition may be stress, chronic fatigue, emotional overload, and so on. Taking Novo-Passit has a calming effect, thereby eliminating worries and anxiety caused by the listed factors. In addition, due to the activation of inhibitory processes in the brain, the drug facilitates falling asleep and normalizes night sleep (
The drug consists almost entirely of extracts of various plants, as a result of which there are relatively few contraindications to its use.
Taking Novo-Passit is absolutely contraindicated:
- If you are allergic to the components of the drug. Allergy is characterized by a dysfunction of the immune system, as a result of which, when any particular substance enters the body, an overly pronounced immune (allergic) reaction develops. Manifestations of allergies can be local (redness and swelling of the skin, urticaria, itching) or systemic (nausea and vomiting, decreased blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness, and so on). If a patient is intolerant to at least one of the components of novo-passit, he is strictly prohibited from taking this drug. If after taking the medication a person begins to feel weakness, dizziness or any other unpleasant symptoms, you should stop further use of the drug and consult your doctor.
- For myasthenia gravis. This is a chronic disease in which the process of transmission of nerve impulses from motor neurons to muscle cells is disrupted (normally, it is this process that provides all voluntary muscle contractions). As a result, there is a pronounced decrease in muscle tone, muscle weakness, as well as rapid fatigue when performing any physical work. The use of novo-passit in this case is contraindicated, since due to its inhibitory effect at the level of the central nervous system, it will lead to an even more pronounced decrease in muscle strength, which can cause extremely adverse consequences. The most dangerous of these may be respiratory arrest (due to the inability to contract the respiratory muscles) and death, but this phenomenon occurs extremely rarely if a patient with severe myasthenia gravis takes a very large dose of the drug.
- Children under 12 years old. As mentioned earlier, the active components of the drug have an effect at the level of the central nervous system, promoting the activation of inhibitory processes in the brain. All this can adversely affect a growing child’s body, in particular the ability to learn and remember information. That is why it is highly not recommended for children under 12 years of age to take this drug. If necessary, it is better to use other, “softer” sedatives.
Use of the drug for
undesirable, as this may adversely affect the condition of the mother or fetus. To date, there is no scientific evidence that any active substances of the drug penetrate from the mother’s bloodstream into the child’s body and have a negative effect on it. However, the possibility of this phenomenon cannot be excluded.

It is also worth remembering that the use of medications during pregnancy can lead to the unborn child developing an allergy to some of them. That is why only a doctor should prescribe Novo-Passit to pregnant women, having previously assessed the possible risks and taken measures to prevent possible complications.
During
It is not recommended to take this drug, since some of its active substances (
) can penetrate into
mother and together with it enter the child’s body. Despite the fact that the dose of drugs entering the child’s body will be negligible, this can lead to sensitization (
) the child’s immune system to these substances, which can cause the development of allergies.
It is also worth noting that with prolonged use of this drug, its active components may remain in the body for several days. That is why, after stopping treatment, it is recommended to resume breastfeeding no earlier than 3 to 5 days later.
Novo-passit is a drug that has a sedative and hypnotic effect. It is used to treat diseases associated with increased nervous excitability. The medication has virtually no effect on metabolism in the body and does not contribute to weight loss. It is highly not recommended to take the medicine in large doses in order to exploit its side effects (
) For

Accept
or other caffeinated drinks (
) during the course of treatment is not recommended, as this may reduce the effectiveness of the drug. The fact is that coffee has a stimulating effect at the level of the central nervous system, as well as the cardiovascular system. This is manifested by mental agitation, insomnia (
), increased mental and motor activity, as well as increased heart rate and increased blood pressure. In this case, almost all the effects of novo-passit are reduced or completely eliminated (
), that is, the treatment is in vain.
Drinking alcoholic beverages during treatment with novo-passitis is not recommended. The fact is that this drug potentiates (
) the effect of ethyl alcohol, which is part of absolutely all alcoholic beverages. This may manifest itself as an overly pronounced sedative and hypnotic effect, which may pose a danger to the patient’s health. A person may fall asleep on the street, in the cold, or while driving (
). That is why you should not drink alcoholic beverages during the entire course of treatment, as well as for 5 to 7 days after its completion.
The active components of the drug activate inhibitory processes in the central nervous system, which leads to slower reactions, dulling of attention and decreased ability to concentrate on complex tasks. All of the above qualities are absolutely necessary for driving a vehicle.
