pharmachologic effect
Pharmacodynamics
Glycine is an amino acid and one of the main inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain. Glycine normalizes and activates the processes of protective inhibition in the central nervous system, reduces psycho-emotional stress, and increases mental performance.
Glycine has glycine and GABAergic, alpha1-adrenergic blocking effects, regulates the activity of glutamate (NMDA) receptors.
The drug has the following properties:
- reduces psycho-emotional stress, aggressiveness, conflict, increases social adaptation;
- improves mood;
- facilitates falling asleep and normalizes sleep;
- increases mental performance;
- reduces vegetative-vascular disorders (including in menopause);
- reduces the severity of cerebral disorders in ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury;
- reduces the toxic effect of alcohol and other drugs that inhibit the function of the central nervous system.
Pharmacokinetics
Easily penetrates into most biological fluids and body tissues, incl. into the brain; metabolized to water and carbon dioxide; accumulation in the body does not occur.
Indications
- Reduced mental performance;
- stressful situations - psychoemotional stress (during exams, in conflict situations, etc.);
- deviant (deviating from the norm) forms of behavior of children and adolescents;
- various functional and organic diseases of the nervous system, accompanied by increased excitability, emotional instability, decreased mental performance, memory and sleep disorders: neuroses, neurosis-like states and vegetative-vascular dystonia, stress nervous disorders, the consequences of neuroinfections and traumatic brain injury, perinatal and others forms of encephalopathy (including alcoholic genesis);
- ischemic stroke.
Method of administration and dosage
Glycine is used sublingually or buccal (in tablets or in powder form after crushing a tablet): adults, adolescents and children over three years old - 1 tablet (100 mg), children under three years old - 0.5 tablets (50 mg).

In narcology, glycine is used as an agent that increases mental performance and reduces psycho-emotional stress during remission with symptoms of encephalopathy, organic lesions of the central and peripheral nervous system: 1 tablet 2-3 times a day for 14-30 days. If necessary, courses are repeated 4-6 times a year.
