Our advice and advice from pharmacy experts

This night again, impossible to sleep a blind eye! You are prostrate in your bed, your eyes wide like an owl: but how to overcome a little insomnia?


The triggering of sleep mechanisms is linked to a particular behavior at bedtime. In the insomniac the latter is disturbed. Several possibilities exist to restore coherent sleep signals. Restoring a healthy lifestyle is an essential prerequisite, but not sufficient for better sleep. We associate other solutions.

For people with difficulty falling asleep

  • Valerian: 1 capsule in the evening with a meal or at bedtime, from 12 years old. To reduce the time of falling asleep and the ability to be alert.
  • Lemon balm: It contributes to a better quality of sleep and is relaxing. It can be consumed as a fluid extract in the evening, combined with verbena (which lowers heart rate) and linden (which lowers body temperature and increases the amount of water eliminated)
  • Passionflower: It will reduce the effect of anxiety on the body and acts as a natural anti-depressant. 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening for 15 days.

To fight against nocturnal restlessness and early awakenings

  • Eschscholtzia: It is also called "California poppy". This plant will make it possible to make sleep more peaceful and to bring the individual more quickly into his paradoxical sleep.
  • It can be combined with passionflower or valerian. We recommend two capsules at bedtime with a large glass of water.
  • In aromatherapy, we recommend the essential oil of Petitgrain Bigarade (in diffusion), lemony litsea (in friction) or organic mandarin (in diffusion or on a handkerchief).

LEXICON (summary)


accommodation
"Focus" of the eye, allowing close-up vision. Presbyopia is the most common accommodation disorder; certain medications such as atropine can cause transient accommodation disturbances.


prostate adenoma
Increase in the volume of the prostate gland located under the bladder of the man. This increase in volume is benign, has nothing to do with cancer, but may hinder the passage of urine in the canal (urethra) that passes through the gland.
The symptoms that suggest the presence of a prostate adenoma are:
  • Difficulty urinating (slow, weak jet)
  • the need to get up several times a night to urinate;
  • urges to urinate imperious and difficult to control.
Some drugs, especially atropine, may have the undesirable effect of aggravating the discomfort and may lead to a complete blockage of the evacuation of the bladder. They are therefore contraindicated or should be used with caution in men with the symptoms described above.


antecedent
Affection healed or still evolving. The antecedent can be personal or family. The antecedents are the story of a person's health.


antidepressants
Drug that acts against depression. Some antidepressants are also used to combat obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety, some rebel pain, enuresis, etc.
Depending on their mode of action and their adverse effects, antidepressants are divided into different families: imipramine antidepressants, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, MAOIs (selective or non-selective). Finally, other antidepressants do not belong to any of these families because they possess original properties.
The mode of action of antidepressants has two main aspects: the relief of the moral suffering and the fight against the inhibition which removes any will of action to the depressed. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between these two effects: the moral suffering can persist, while the capacity for action reappears. During this short period, the suicidal risk present in some depressed may be increased. The doctor takes this into account when prescribing (possible association with a tranquilizer) and this must be respected.


antihistamine
Drug that opposes the different effects of histamine. Two main types exist: antihistamines type H1 (antiallergic) and antihistamines type H2 (gastric antiulcer). Some H1 antihistamines are sedative, others do not affect alertness.


atropine
Drug whose effects are close to those of atropine. Atropinics fight spasms and diarrhea. The adverse effects of atropinic agents are: thickening of bronchial secretions, dryness of the mouth and mucous membranes, constipation, risk of blockage of urine and acute glaucoma attack in susceptible persons, disturbances of accommodation, abnormal sensitivity to light by dilation of the pupil. Taking several atropine drugs increases the risk of side effects. In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, the following signs may also appear: red and hot skin, fever, acceleration of breathing, drop or, on the contrary, rise in blood pressure, agitation, hallucinations, poor coordination of movements. Tell your doctor urgently or, if not, call 15, 112 or an emergency medical service.
In addition to atropine and its derivatives, other drugs have atropine effects: imipramine antidepressants, some antihistamines, antispasmodics, antiparkinsonian and neuroleptics.


depression
Disease most often associating a feeling of fatigue, uselessness, guilt, inability to perform daily tasks. Loss of appetite and sleep disorders are common. Suicidal impulses are one of the signs of severity of depression.


glaucoma
Disease characterized by the increase of the pressure of the liquids contained in the eye (intraocular hypertension).
This general term covers two completely different affections:
  • Open-angle glaucoma or chronic glaucoma is the most common; it is usually symptom free, detected by measurement of intraocular pressure in the ophthalmologist. It does not cause an acute attack, and the treatment is essentially based on beta-blocker eye drops. People with open-angle glaucoma should not use cortisone derivatives without prior ophthalmic advice.
  • Angle-closure glaucoma or acute glaucoma is more rare. Between seizures, intraocular tension is normal. But the inadvertent use of atropine drugs (especially eye drops) causes an acute attack of intraocular hypertension that can permanently damage the retina in a few hours. It is an ophthalmological emergency that can be recognized by a brutally red eye, horribly painful, hard as a glass ball, and whose vision becomes blurred.
The angle referred to in these two affections is the iridocorneal angle. It is indeed between the iris and the cornea that the liquid evacuation system of the eye is located. A slightly open angle (closed) exposes to a total obstruction of the evacuation system. This obstruction can occur when the iris is open to the maximum (mydriasis) under the effect of an atropine drug: the iris then sticks to the cornea.
The contraindications for atropine medications only apply to people who have had an angle-closure glaucoma attack, or for whom an ophthalmologist has detected this risk. Those with chronic open angle glaucoma are not affected by these contraindications.


hypnotic
Drug causing sleep.
Synonym: sleeping pill.


Hepatic insufficiency
Inability of the liver to perform its function, which is essentially the elimination of certain wastes, but also the synthesis of many biological substances essential to the body: albumin, cholesterol and coagulation factors (vitamin K, etc.).


renal failure
Inability of the kidneys to dispose of waste or drugs. Advanced renal failure does not necessarily result in a decrease in the amount of urine eliminated. Only a blood test and the determination of creatinine can reveal this disease.


neuroleptics
Family of drugs used in the treatment of certain nervous disorders or various symptoms: digestive disorders, menopausal disorders, etc.


opiates
Chemical family that includes opium and its derivatives. In addition to drugs such as opium or heroin, the opiate family includes morphine (strong analgesic), codeine (antitussive and analgesic) and many other substances.


palpitations
Abnormal perception of irregular heartbeat.


dosage
Quantity and distribution of the dose of a drug according to the age, weight and general condition of the patient.


sedative
  • Soothing, calm.
  • Medicines belonging to different families: anxiolytics, hypnotics, analgesics, antitussives, antiepileptics, neuroleptics, etc. but also antidepressants, antihistamines H1, antihypertensives. A sedative may be responsible for drowsiness and increase the effects of alcohol.
