Frequently asked questions

How should Glycised be taken correctly?

The tablet should be held in the mouth until completely dissolved (under the tongue or against the cheek). Dosage depends on the purpose: for decreased performance or alcoholism, take 1 tablet 2–3 times a day; for sleep disturbances, 50–100 mg before bedtime; for stroke, use according to a special regimen determined by a physician.

Who should not take the drug?

Glycised is not recommended for children under 3 years of age, people with arterial hypotension (low blood pressure), and those with individual hypersensitivity to its components. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

What side effects may Glycised cause?

The drug is usually well-tolerated, but allergic reactions (rash, itching, mucosal edema), gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, abdominal pain), or rare nervous system reactions (headache, irritability, impaired concentration) may occur.

Can the drug be combined with other medicines?

Yes, it may reduce the toxicity of certain anticonvulsants and antidepressants. However, when taken simultaneously with hypnotics, tranquilizers, or antipsychotics, the inhibitory effect on the nervous system may be enhanced.

Does the drug affect the ability to drive a vehicle?

Caution should be exercised when driving motor vehicles or operating machinery, as the drug may affect reaction speed.

Instructions for use

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEDICAL USE OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT GLICISED® (GLICISED®)

Composition:

active substance: glycine;

1 tablet contains glycine equivalent to 100% substance 100 mg;
excipients: ammonium methacrylate copolymer dispersion, glycol montanic wax, povidone, calcium stearate.

Medicinal form. Tablets.

Main physicochemical properties: tablets are nearly white or white with a creamy tint, round-shaped with a flat surface and beveled edges. The surface of the tablets may have a marbled appearance.

Pharmacotherapeutic group. Agents affecting the nervous system.

ATC code N07X X.

Pharmacological properties.

Glycine is an amino acid (a natural metabolite) that acts as an inhibitory-type neurotransmitter and regulator of metabolic processes in the central nervous system. It reduces psycho-emotional tension, enhances mental performance, exerts neuroprotective, anti-stress, and sedative effects, improves brain metabolism, normalizes sleep, and reduces the toxic effects of alcohol. It does not cause dependence.

Glycine easily penetrates most biological fluids and tissues of the body, including the brain. It is rapidly metabolized in the liver by glycine oxidase, breaking down into water and carbon dioxide. Glycine does not accumulate in tissues.

Clinical characteristics.

Indications.

Functional and organic disorders of the nervous system (neuroses, neurosis-like conditions, vegetative-vascular dystonia, sequelae of neuroinfection, traumatic brain injury, perinatal and other forms of encephalopathy, including those of alcoholic origin), accompanied by increased excitability, emotional instability, decreased mental performance, and sleep disturbances.

Ischemic stroke and cerebral circulation disorders.

As an adjunctive agent in the treatment of alcoholism.

Contraindications.

Individual hypersensitivity to the drug or increased sensitivity to any of its components; arterial hypotension. Children under 3 years of age.

Special precautions.

In patients predisposed to arterial hypotension, blood pressure should be monitored, and, if necessary, dosage adjustment should be performed: Glycised® should be administered in lower doses with regular monitoring of blood pressure. If blood pressure decreases below the usual level, administration of the drug should be discontinued.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interactions.

Glycised® reduces the toxicity of anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and antiseizure agents. When used concomitantly with sedatives, tranquilizers, and antipsychotics, the central nervous system depressant effect is enhanced.

Special precautions.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

The effect of Glitsised on the body during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been thoroughly studied; therefore, the use of this drug is not recommended.

Ability to affect reaction speed when driving vehicles or operating machinery.

Caution should be exercised when driving vehicles or operating machinery, as well as when engaging in potentially hazardous activities.

Method of Administration and Dosage

The medicinal product Glycised® is administered in tablet form or as a powder obtained by crushing the tablet, transbuccally (by placing in the mouth or between the cheek and gum) or sublingually (under the tongue). The tablet should be held in the oral cavity until completely dissolved.
