Many people have had a hangover at least once in their lives. This is an unpleasant condition that appears due to acute intoxication of the body with ethanol decay products. In such a period, a person needs special help, and Zorex capsules, the instructions for which are presented in this article, will provide it.
Zorex or Zorex Morning: what to choose?
Today, there are two varieties of the drug, the names are very similar, but the principle of action is different:
- Zorex helps the liver and internal organs after intoxication provoked by the abuse of ethanol-containing drinks.
- "Zorex Morning" - a drug that has an antipyretic effect and is able to have a local anesthetic effect (for example, with pain in the lymph nodes or migraine).
The only similarity between Zorex and Zorex Morning is that the first drug stops all the symptoms of alcohol abuse, and the second eliminates a headache during a hangover. Both varieties of the drug can be used for a hangover syndrome, but the spectrum of action of Zorex (reviews confirm this fact) is wider.
Release form and composition
Instructions for use with Zorex tablets informs that the drug is available in capsule form and is active due to the presence of the following components: unition and calcium pantothenate. These substances have the ability to absorb ethanol metabolites and facilitate their rapid excretion from the body with urine and feces. The capsule also contains the following components:
- azorubine;
- titanium dioxide;
- gelatin;
- microcrystalline cellulose.
Unitiol in the composition has a hepatoprotective effect, effectively removing the symptoms of poisoning and intoxication. Prevents fatty degeneration of liver cells. It has a mild choleretic and diuretic effect.
Indications for use
The instruction for Zorex tablets reports that the medicine is effective in the following conditions:
- withdrawal syndrome in people with chronic alcoholism at any stage;
- hangover syndrome in the initial stages of addiction;
- poisoning of any etiology (in which there is no inflammatory and infectious process);
- overdose of certain medications (cardiac glycosides);
- relief of symptoms of alcohol abuse (ethanol).
Depending on the stage of alcoholism, the drug may have a greater or lesser effect. The toxic effect of ethanol is different, in the presence of some chronic diseases it can cause death. For example, in some cases, alcohol abuse can provoke pancreatic necrosis, ascites, and stroke — these fatal conditions are much more common than we would like. And alcohol abuse is a catalyst for the development of these diseases. Zorex cannot prevent them, but it can serve as a deterrent to the development of liver pathologies.
Side effects and contraindications
The instruction to "Zorex" reports that the capsules have the following contraindications for use:
- internal bleeding (occur in some cases during the hangover syndrome);
- portal hypertension;
- period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- thrombocytopenia;
- hemophilia.
Relative contraindications include gout, gastric and duodenal ulcer, diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Instructions and reviews to Zorex confirm that the drug is usually well tolerated and side effects are extremely rare. In rare cases, taking the drug can provoke vomiting - but this is not a bad symptom. On the contrary, often with vomit left over undigested food and drinks, for assimilation of which the exhausted organism simply does not have enough enzymes. In some cases, vomiting is the only way to help the organs of the gastrointestinal tract during the hangover.
Recommended dosage
The instruction to Zorex pays particular attention to the fact that the capsules can be used not only in the morning after a stormy party, but also immediately before the feast. This is the prevention of severe poisoning and its consequences.
However, reviews of Zorex (and the instructions for use confirm this fact) warn: capsules taken in advance soften intoxication, and the patient is unable to achieve the effect of "turning off consciousness," for which many drink.
Dosage when taking capsules before a feast: two or three pieces, drink plenty of clean water an hour or two before drinking alcohol.
Dosage when using capsules in the morning when the hangover syndrome has already manifested itself: one capsule every two hours. At the same time, it is advisable to take enzymes, hepatoprotectors, sedatives and sedatives of the central nervous system. If the patient suffers from pressure surges or has a history of chronic cardiovascular disease, medications that regulate cardiac activity are necessary.
The instruction for effervescent tablets "Zorex" warns that other drugs may be needed to get rid of a hangover syndrome as quickly as possible.
Effervescent tablets with a hangover syndrome "Zorex Morning"
This form of release of the drug is quite different from its predecessor in terms of its effect on the body. The instruction to "Zorex Morning" reports that the main active components of the drug are:
- aspirin;
- lemon acid;
- sodium bicarbonate.
This composition allows the drug to have a powerful antipyretic effect, anesthetizing and invigorating effect on the body. If the patient urgently needs to work, and the hangover syndrome has taken him by surprise - it is worth taking the Zorex Morning pill, and after an hour there will come relief and the opportunity to focus on current affairs.
Zorex hangover treatment depending on stage
The severity of a hangover syndrome directly depends on the stage of alcoholism. The effectiveness of taking Zorex will vary significantly depending on the condition of the patient.
- At the first stage, the patient is not yet hungover, but he steadily abuses alcoholic beverages once a week or a month until a severe hangover occurs (headache, nausea and vomiting, severe intoxication of the body). At this stage, taking Zorex (instructions for use with effervescent tablets and capsules confirms this) provides the best effect. The cells of the internal organs are not yet particularly damaged, ethanol has not been integrated into the metabolism.
- In the second stage, the patient begins to "hangover" - drink alcohol in the morning to get rid of a hangover. Memory failures, problems with relatives and loved ones, and superiors begin. At this stage, patients rarely resort to taking drugs like Zorex because they don’t feel the need to be treated - ethanol is gradually built into their metabolism.
- At the third stage of alcoholism, the patient no longer feels the need for drugs for the hangover syndrome. Ethanol has already firmly taken its place in the metabolism, the patient is a kind of drug addict. In this case, a course of treatment in a professional narcological clinic can help.
Hangover after spirits and Zorex
Is there any difference what kind of drinks were drunk the day before? There is an opinion among the population without a medical education that the treatment of a hangover syndrome after the abuse of beer and cocktails is simpler and faster. But if the hangover syndrome was provoked by drinking cognac, vodka or whiskey, Zorex will be powerless.
This opinion is erroneous: it does not matter what drinks were drunk. Intoxication and intoxication occurs for one reason: exposure to ethanol. Its percentage is lower in beer, cocktails, and wines - but the effect for the body is exactly the same as after drinking strong drinks. Just low alcohol cocktails and beer will have to drink a few liters, and vodka - 150-250 grams. In this case, the mechanisms of intoxication are completely identical.
Can I drive after taking Zorex?
Many consumers believe that after taking several Zorex capsules, the smell of fumes disappears and the concentration of ethanol in the blood returns to normal. In no case can you believe in such stories.
Reception "Zoreksa" does not affect the decrease in the concentration of ethanol, and even more so is not able to reduce the fume - the unpleasant smell of alcohol and its decay products from the alcoholic's respiratory tract.
In no case should you drive and drive any vehicle after alcohol abuse. You can take at least a package of Zorex - this will in no way reduce the concentration of ethanol in the blood. Only the time and activity of the liver will help after a day or two to cleanse the blood of the deadly metabolites of ethanol.
Medical advice: how to make Zorex's treatment as effective as possible?
Here are the simple rules that any narcologist or person with a medical degree will tell you to alleviate the symptoms of a hangover syndrome:
- restore the water-salt balance of the body - to do this, drink cucumber or cabbage brine, the drug "Regidron";
- quit smoking cigarettes during a hangover, as the vessels are unnecessary;
- exclude fatty and high-calorie foods - during this period, you should not load the gastrointestinal tract once again;
- try to sleep - if you can’t do it yourself, you should resort to the help of sedatives and sedatives;
- Do not give the body an extra load during a hangover - it is worth observing bed rest.
Customer Reviews on Zorex Capsules
This drug has established itself as one of the most popular remedies for a hangover syndrome in the vastness of our homeland. If intoxication has already occurred, and the body has received a serious blow, it is not possible to prevent the load on the liver and nervous system. However, Zorex helps to remove ethanol metabolites as quickly as possible and restore former performance.
If the abuse of ethanol-containing drinks occurs on a regular basis, the patient should explain that alcoholism is an incurable fatal psychiatric disease that provokes an invisible, but guaranteed social and mental degradation. Therapy of alcoholism is carried out by narcologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists. Until the patient himself realizes the total poverty of his situation and does not want to get rid of the disease, attempts to provide assistance will be futile.
