What are the benefits of Novo-Passit®?
Novo-Passit® is primarily used to manage mild to moderate symptoms of nervous tension.
These include irritability, anxiety, restlessness, and stress-related conditions often referred to as "manager's syndrome."
It also helps improve focus, reduce mental fatigue, and ease sleep problems like insomnia.
Additionally, Novo-Passit® can be an adjuvant therapy for headaches, migraines, and psychosomatic disorders that stem from mental strain.
It may also help with digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome when related to stress.
How does Novo-Passit® work for sleep disorders?
The herbal extracts in Novo-Passit® are known for their sedative effects, helping individuals fall asleep more easily by calming the nervous system.
For those suffering from mild insomnia or difficulty sleeping due to anxiety or stress, Novo-Passit® can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
Can Novo-Passit® help with migraines?
Yes, Novo-Passit® can be used as a supplementary treatment for migraines, particularly when these headaches are linked to nervous tension or mental stress.
The calming properties of the herbal extracts may reduce the frequency and intensity of stress-induced migraines.
Is Novo-Passit® suitable for digestive health?
Novo-Passit® can help alleviate functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) when these issues are related to anxiety or stress.
It provides calming effects that may ease symptoms like bloating, discomfort, and digestive irregularities.
Are there any precautions when using Novo-Passit®?
Novo-Passit® should be used with caution by individuals with liver problems or those who are using central nervous system depressants.
People allergic to any of the components, particularly guaifenesin, should avoid this medication.
It is not recommended for people under 18 years old, and those with epilepsy or myasthenia should also refrain from using it.
Can Novo-Passit® interact with other medications?
Yes, Novo-Passit® may interact with several medications, especially those that affect the central nervous system. Guaifenesin can enhance the sedative effects of alcohol, antihistamines, and other sedative medications. Additionally, St. John's wort, one of the key herbal ingredients, may reduce the effectiveness of drugs metabolized by certain liver enzymes, including some antidepressants, oral contraceptives, and immunosuppressants like cyclosporine. Always consult a healthcare professional before combining Novo-Passit® with other medications.
How should Novo-Passit® be taken?
Novo-Passit® is typically taken as one tablet three times a day.

If you experience drowsiness, reduce the dose in the morning and afternoon.
