Want to know the opinion of a specialist on the topic: "Donormil and alcohol." Without unnecessary modesty I can offer my authoritative opinion. It is authoritative, for example, because I was saving a person with whom an overdose of donormil occurred.
That guy drank how much of this drug, he himself does not remember. But I perfectly remember his trembling limbs, a sleepy state during the day, an ongoing sense of anxiety and fear. There were also cramps. It is possible that without timely assistance, the victim would fall into a coma. In general, it cost then abundant gastric lavage. He felt better, but just in case they called an ambulance.
Later I read about donormil and alcohol on the online forum. As for the harm of their joint application, opinions differed. Some participants in the conversation stated that it is generally impossible to poison from soluble effervescent tablets of this drug. Another asked what would happen if you drink three "bottles" of donormil and drink a bottle of vodka. Strange questions? The answers were, including the following: “Everything will be normal, you will enjoy a little!”
Honestly, once in the hospital I took donormil as a sleeping pill, and I did not like its effect. He slept normally, but after waking up there was a dry mouth, lethargy and other unpleasant sensations. The roommate praised this drug very much and, as I understand it, donormilized and considered alcohol an excellent combination.
But, what kind of drug is it, and for what purpose should it be used?
As for the analogues of this medicine, the following is known. There is no analogue for donormil. That is, of course, there are drugs with a similar effect. It is about absolute analogues. In any case, the issue of replacing donormil is discussed directly with the doctor.
So, donormil is an antagonist of H1-histamine receptors with M-anticholinergic action. Due to its calming and hypnotic effect, it is prescribed for various sleep disorders. Available mainly in the form of soluble tablets, in most countries it is sold without a prescription. This does not mean that its uncontrolled use does not lead to various pathologies.
Instructions for use of the drug, for example, clearly and clearly state that donormil and alcohol are strictly contraindicated to combine. This also applies to the joint use with drugs containing alcohol. Is this not enough to end discussions and disputes in this direction?
In fact, it is generally unacceptable to take many medications in combination with alcoholic beverages. This even applies to a seemingly harmless drug like paracetamol.
Alcohol in small doses significantly enhances the action of donormil and can lead to an overdose. In such cases, even seizures and a coma are possible. Typical signs of such an overdose:
- trembling limbs (tremor),
- anxiety, fear,
- heat,
- dilated pupils
- dry mouth
- drowsiness, lethargy, apathy.
In fact, if you take together donormil and alcohol, you should also be aware that the consequences can be even fatal. Also, with extreme caution, this drug is prescribed together with opioids, antipsychotics, derivatives of barbituric acid.
