What is Tenoten®?
Tenoten® is a unique anxiolytic medication designed to help manage anxiety and improve overall emotional well-being. It is available in two formulations: one specifically for adults and another for children, each tailored to meet the unique needs of these different age groups.
Tenoten® is administered in the form of lozenges, which dissolve in the mouth, providing a convenient and easy-to-take option. Unlike some other anti-anxiety medications, Tenoten® does not induce drowsiness or muscle relaxation, making it suitable for daily use without affecting normal activities.
The active ingredient in Tenoten® is based on antibodies to the brain-specific protein S-100. This protein plays a crucial role in regulating synaptic (information processing) and metabolic processes in the brain. By modulating the activity of this protein, Tenoten® enhances the brain's ability to cope with stress and supports cognitive functions such as memory and learning.
Tenoten® is widely used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, irritability, and stress-related conditions. It also has neuroprotective properties, meaning it helps protect brain cells from damage caused by factors such as oxidative stress or reduced oxygen supply (hypoxia). This makes it a versatile option for individuals dealing with the mental and physical effects of stress, including those recovering from neurological injuries or experiencing chronic stress conditions.
In children, Tenoten® is especially beneficial for managing behavioral and learning disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It helps improve focus, reduce hyperactivity, and stabilize mood, making it a valuable part of a comprehensive treatment plan for these conditions.
Overall, Tenoten® is a modern and gentle option for those seeking to improve their mental health and emotional resilience, offering benefits without the heavy sedation or dependency risks associated with some other anxiolytics. Whether used by adults to manage stress and anxiety or by children to support behavioral and cognitive development, Tenoten® provides a balanced approach to mental wellness.
What is the Composition of Tenoten®?
The composition of Tenoten® varies slightly depending on whether it is formulated for adults or children, but both versions share a common active ingredient designed to support mental health and emotional well-being.
Tenoten® for Adults:
- Active Ingredient: Antibodies to brain-specific protein S-100, affinity purified – 10,000 modifying activity units (MAU).
- Inactive Ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate.
Tenoten® for Children:
- Active Ingredient: Antibodies to brain-specific protein S-100, affinity purified – 5,000 modifying activity units (MAU).
- Inactive Ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate.
What are Antibodies to Brain-Specific Protein S-100?
The active ingredient, antibodies to brain-specific protein S-100, plays a crucial role in regulating processes within the central nervous system.
Protein S-100 is involved in many brain functions, including the regulation of nerve cell growth, synaptic plasticity (which is essential for learning and memory), and neuroprotection.
By modulating the activity of this protein, Tenoten® helps to balance neurotransmitter levels, support cognitive functions, and protect brain cells from stress-induced damage.
This makes it a unique and targeted approach to managing anxiety and enhancing mental performance.
How does Tenoten® work?
Tenoten® has a multifaceted impact on the central nervous system, helping to manage various psycho-emotional stresses.
It has calming, anti-anxiety, nootropic (cognitive-enhancing), and antidepressant properties.
The medication aids in improving memory and concentration, reducing stress levels, and protecting the brain from negative influences such as intoxication or hypoxia.
Tenoten® for Adults
Tenoten® for adults is prescribed for anxiety conditions related to neurological disorders and psychosomatic diseases.
It helps improve the tolerance to emotional stress, reduces irritability, and enhances concentration.
The recommended dosage is 1-2 tablets taken twice daily, with the option to increase to 4 times daily if necessary.
The treatment course typically lasts from 1 to 3 months, with the possibility of extending up to 6 months.
Tenoten® for Children
Tenoten® for children is formulated for kids aged 3 and older.
It helps manage conditions such as neurasthenia, neurotic disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The medication improves behavioral and learning skills while stabilizing the child’s emotional state.
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific condition but usually involve 1-2 tablets taken 1 to 3 times daily.
What are the side effects of Tenoten®?
Both versions of Tenoten® have minimal side effects.
In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions to the ingredients may occur.
Overdosing may lead to mild digestive issues such as nausea or stomach discomfort, which are generally related to the auxiliary substances in the medication.
How should Tenoten® be stored?
Tenoten® should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 25°C (77°F) in a dry place, out of reach of children.
The medication has a shelf life of 3 years, after which it should not be used.
Can Tenoten® be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
The safety of Tenoten® during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been thoroughly studied.
If the medication is needed during these periods, the benefit-risk ratio should be carefully considered, and a healthcare professional should be consulted.
