Interaction

So far, there is no evidence of interactions when taking Korodin drops with other drugs. Users should inform their doctor about taking Korodin, even if it is a non-prescription drug.

Contraindications – When should Korodin drops not be given?

Korodin drops should not be taken if there is hypersensitivity to the ingredients of the drug. Korodin should not be used in infants and toddlers because of its alcohol content. There is also a risk of laryngeal cramps due to the added essential oil. Patients with bronchial asthma or respiratory diseases are also advised against taking it, as camphor can lead to shortness of breath or asthma attacks.

Dosage

Unless otherwise prescribed, the usual dosage of Korodin Cardiovascular Drops is: 10 drops 3 times a day on a piece of bread or sugar, which is slowly chewed. The drops can also be applied undiluted to the tongue. Korodin drops should not be taken with water, as the active ingredient Camphor is not water-soluble.

Depending on the severity of the symptoms, the dosage can be increased to 25 drops 3 times a day. In case of fainting fits, five to ten drops are taken at 15-minute intervals until improvement occurs. The use of Korodin drops is also recommended as a permanent treatment for persistent symptoms.

Price

Korodin drops are available without prescription in pharmacies. The selling price varies depending on the package size. Korodin cardiovascular drops in the 100 ml size are available from about 18€.

Korodin and alcohol – is it compatible?

The consumption of alcohol is not a contraindication for the intake of Korodin drops, which themselves contain small amounts of alcohol. Patients who suffer from alcoholism and have had a successful withdrawal should be informed about the alcohol content of medication and the risk of relapse in this context.

Alternatives to Korodin

Patients with symptoms such as dizziness or fainting due to low blood pressure, for whom no serious organic cause has been identified, must always make sure that they drink enough fluids. Rapid changes in position, such as from lying down to standing, should also be avoided. Alternative household remedies to Korodin drops for dizziness and circulatory problems include peppermint, mistletoe and mate.

Regular exercise in the fresh air or sauna can support the blood circulation and circulation stability. A doctor should always be consulted in the early stages of heart failure, as it is a serious disease with possible serious consequences. In addition to general measures such as weight reduction and salt restriction, therapy usually requires medication, including diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and others. Corodine drops should only be taken as a supplement.
