Women of elegant age who have crossed the 45-year milestone need to pay special attention to their health, since the onset of hormonal changes in the body threatens to turn into annoying symptoms of menopause. The drug "Klimalanin" helps to get rid of them. Reviews of doctors, contraindications, features of its action are of interest to most women during the period of extinction of reproductive function, which lasts up to 55 years.
In addition, the pharmacological properties of this medication are also clarified by younger women who have experienced menopause after surgery or early menopausal syndrome associated with various pathologies. In any case, you must consult a doctor for advice and a possible prescription of the drug, and not experiment on your own.
Composition and form of release of non-hormonal medication
The effective and safe preparation "Klimalanin" is available in the form of fairly large white cylindrical tablets, the main active ingredient of which is the beta-alanine amino acid. Its concentration in each pill reaches 400 mg. Of the excipients, the drug contains: magnesium stearate (8 mg), hydrated silicon (36 mg), palmityl glycerol stearate (31.2 mg) and wheat starch (304.8 mg). The medicine is sold in blisters of 10 or 15 tablets, packed in cardboard boxes. Recently, the manufacturer changed their design from lilac to hot pink.
Keep the medicine âKlimalaninâ from âhot flashesâ during menopause at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees Celsius, away from children's attention. The shelf life of the tablets does not exceed three years.
The effect of anti-climacteric drug
The main therapeutic factor of the described drug is the ability of beta-alanine to counteract the so-called hot flashes caused by the powerful and abundant release of histamine - the regulator of many physiological processes of the body. Eliminating the vegetative symptoms of natural and artificial menopause: a feeling of heat, hot flashes and headache, the main component of the drug has a beneficial effect on a woman's health due to the lack of antihistamine properties, which eliminates the blocking of H1 receptors.
The drug "Klimalanin", the composition of which is absolutely safe, acts directly on the peripheral skin vessels, which, when dilated, cause vegetative reactions during menopause (sensation of heat, headache). They are due to the active functioning of the thermoregulatory centers located in the hypothalamus, which are involved in the process due to an imbalance in the cerebral neurotransmitters that occurs due to the extinction of the reproductive function (termination of the production of hormones by the female ovaries). Beta-alanine, saturating the peripheral receptors of neurotransmitters - the main participants in the restructuring of the reproductive system, has a beneficial and safe effect on the body. In other words, the non-hormonal drug Klimalanin eliminates the uncomfortable manifestations of
menopausal syndrome: causeless heat, headache, mood swings and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), which are the result of malfunctions of the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus. In addition, the drug successfully copes with the decreased formation of female hormones by the ovaries in good quality and in sufficient quantities.
Indications for use
To alleviate unwanted symptoms in menopause, women may be prescribed "Klimalanin."
The use of the drug according to the instructions should eliminate hot flashes at all stages of the
menopausal period; in conditions caused by artificial menopause; with perimenopausal, menopausal dysfunctions of unknown origin (during the premenopause and for two years in postmenopause). âKlimalaninâ can become a successful alternative to HRT if hormonal drugs are contraindicated for a woman due to side effects or there is a fear of the onset and development of cancer.
Possible side effects of the drug "Klimalanin" (reviews of doctors). Contraindications
There are practically no bans on the use of a therapeutic agent based on β-alanine. Persons with hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or supplements contained in the tablets occasionally experience short-term allergic reactions or there are slight tingling and tingling sensations in the limbs that quickly disappear. Withdrawal of the drug, as a rule, such symptoms do not require. Only in isolated cases of pronounced individual intolerance that can be caused by an anti-climacteric drug, does the doctor recommend changing it to an analogue with other components.
Athletes who use beta-alanine in large doses (more than 20 mg per 1 kg of a personâs weight) believe that a tingling sensation in the limbs is an absolutely normal reaction of the body to an amino acid, but if it causes inconvenience, you can simply reduce the amount of the drug taken.
Dosage and administration
In the methodology for prescribing a medication for menopausal syndrome, there are several options. Most often, doctors prescribe one or two tablets per day (0.4-0.8 g). In exceptional cases, the dose can be increased to three tablets (1.2 g). After 5-10 days, when the woman's well-being improves and her condition stabilizes, the dosage is gradually reduced and the patient can go on a maintenance course, taking one tablet per day.
The duration and treatment regimen, that is, how much to take âKlimalaninâ and in what quantity, it is better to regularly coordinate with a doctor. In most cases, the disappearance of the symptoms of menopause occurs in 5-6 days, but after a certain period (its value depends on the individual characteristics of the body), menopause in the form of vasomotor reactions can again begin to disturb the woman. When unpleasant symptoms return, the course of treatment should be repeated. This medicine does not have a cumulative (cumulative) effect, is not addictive. How to take "Klimalanin" and what effect from its use should be expected?

In sports nutrition stores, the Beta-Alanine amino acid is also found on sale, which is taken to increase endurance during intensive training, but it is packaged in large jars in the form of 500 g powder with a cost of about 2500 rubles or in capsules, but in this case it is required pay attention to the amount of beta-alanine in the pill so as not to exceed the dosage.

Benefits
Since this drug is not addictive, it can be used for vasomotor disorders that occur throughout the menopause. The appointment of a "floating" dosage (from one to three tablets per day) allows you to reduce or increase the amount of amino acids that stop tides, which helps women respond most adequately to improving and worsening well-being. In addition, the drug "Klimalanin", reviews of doctors, contraindications and a mechanism of action which indicate its safety and effectiveness, has been successfully used in combination with other means to increase the effectiveness of the therapeutic course. In order to normalize the hormonal background, get rid of anxiety and muscle tension during menopause, other extended-action drugs are used, which can cause more side effects and contraindications. Against their background, "Klimalanin" has virtually no prohibitions on the use, therefore, it leads in popularity.
Women's opinions on the drug
Unlike doctors who recommend the described drug to most women suffering from menopausal syndrome, patients give a variety of reviews about it: from approving to neutral and even negative. Most of them note that due to the amino acid the pulsation in the veins disappears, the headache and feeling of heat go away, the pressure normalizes. At the same time, overall health improves, and the emotional state becomes stable, stressful situations are more easily controlled, and irritability disappears. But not every lady can help Klimalanin. Reviews of women and doctors indicate the safety of the drug, but sometimes, due to the individual characteristics of the body, its effect may not be felt. Experts point to the presence of a narrowly targeted effect of the drug associated with the relief of âhot flashesâ, feelings of heat and headache. Hypertension, which is a consequence of the emotional restructuring of the body during menopause, as well as other cardiovascular problems, should be resolved in combination with the use of cardiac drugs and beta-alanine, which improves the condition of a woman.
Commenting on the drug and its side effects on forums, patients aged 45+ suggest, together with the Klimalanin tablet, to put another amino acid under the tongue - Glycine. They claim that this combination, prescribed by the attending physician, removes tingling in the hands, cheeks and ears, which is characteristic for taking β-alanine as one component. For those who can afford to drink alcohol tinctures, phytotherapists are advised to include (with the approval of the doctor) their mixture of four herbs:
evading peony, valerian, hawthorn and motherwort. A teaspoon or 20 drops diluted in 100 ml of cool boiled water can be drunk before bedtime for a good rest. The anti-climacteric drug âKlimalaninâ, the instruction (the price also does not suit everyone) which contains complete information about the amino acid, can cause neutral and even negative reviews. Some consumers complain that the drug does not help, for others - a dose of three tablets is not enough, because they are tormented by strong flushes. They also talk about other features of the use of the drug: in addition to hot flashes (the instruction confirms this), other symptoms do not go away (hypertensive crises, nervous disorders, increased heartbeat). In such cases, it is necessary to visit a doctor who will adjust the complex therapy, prescribing adequate treatment for cardiac or other problems.
Manufacturer and cost of the drug
In urban and online pharmacies, a prescription anti-menopausal drug called âKlimalaninâ is being prescribed today (instructions). Its price ranges from 350-380 rubles per pack of 30 tablets to 480-500 rubles. The drug is made by pharmacists of the European company BOUCHARA-RECORDATI Laboratoires (France), which was created by merging with the Italian company Recordati. The Russian representative office of the BUSHARA Laboratory - RusFik LLC (RUSFIC) sells the drug under the Klimalanin brand name.
The manufacturer of the identical drug (Bouchara-Recordati pharmaceutical group) sells it under the ABUFENE brand with the same dosage of β-alanine and additional substances. The myth that such a drug is not available in France and is not sold in Europe, distributed at women's forums, is groundless and is refuted by relevant information on the manufacturerâs official website.
special instructions
Despite the effectiveness of this medication during menopause, it must be borne in mind that the severity of hot flashes in each woman is individual. With a mild degree, the patient experiences up to 10 attacks of menopausal syndrome, with an average of 10 to 20, and with a severe degree more than 20 times, the woman is unpleasant. A timely visit to a doctor will help relieve negative manifestations and prescribe the appropriate drugs. Before starting treatment for many women, the question arises: "Klimalanin" - hormonal or not. Experts give a negative answer. However, this drug is not a panacea. In difficult cases, it may not give a pronounced result, so it is replaced with a suitable medication. If necessary, for insomnia, palpitations, the doctor prescribes special medications that work well in combination therapy with this drug. Doctors say that the popular âKlimalaninâ will not bring harm in any case. During the consultation, doctors are usually advised to avoid stressful situations at work and at home, try to restrain emotions and not provoke conflicts, not to focus on negativity and change lifestyle.
