We met Pantokaltsin three months ago. He was discharged by a nine-month-old granddaughter to improve sleep, to improve cerebral circulation.

There is no special form of release of the drug. It is not comfortable. It was necessary to pound half a tablet, half a tablet had to be stored until the next time. It would be much more convenient if it was possible for children to buy Pantokaltsin in syrup, for example. The medicine is a bit expensive. Drink it was given for two months, so it's expensive. But it's not so bad. We did not notice any improvements from the granddaughter! Therefore we drank only one package and decided not to give more. And in general, the instructions say that children under three years of age are not recommended! As we are treated - it is not clear.

To the child 2 months, the raised or increased nervously-reflex excitability. They prescribed calcium gopantenate in combination with actovegin and traumeum. But also we have an early closure of the large fontanel, is it possible to use in this case calcium preparations, in particular calcium-gopantenate?

Vika, I am of the opinion that excess calcium can not harm a child. It is not fat-soluble vitamins, but a mineral, the excess of which is very successfully removed from the body. Rather, children suffer from a lack of calcium, but early closure of fontanels occurs either because of metabolic disorders, or because of excess calcium in the diet of a pregnant mother, with the corresponding disorders. So in your case there should not be any problems. However, as I said, if there are no violations of calcium metabolism in the body (the root cause of the closure of the fontanelle).

Wrote to the son with nervous tics in conjunction with Phenibutum helped by the end of the second month of use. Now they prescribed the younger daughter to her 1 year and 10 months for 1 tablet 2 times a day something I doubt in dosage having read that for children under 3 years old it is contraindicated.

Olga, Pantokaltsin is sold only in tablets of 250 mg and 500 mg and it is this dosage form that is contraindicated in children under the age of 3 years. That is, there is a relative contraindication in the sense that a child can not swallow such a prepackage of a medicine. Perhaps the doctor appointed you, but did not indicate that the tablets should be crushed, and it is difficult for young children to select the necessary dose of the drug, since the tablets are usually divided in half, and it is already necessary to divide it somehow so that the correct dosage (no more than a dose and not less).

I'm surprised at our moms! I work as a neurologist for children in a regular hospital. Why do not you listen at the reception. Now everyone has the right to tell the doctor that he is treating "wrong",they diagnose themselves on the Internet, cancel or prescribe medicines to children, and in case of failure they will blame the incompetent doctor. Mummies, understand, the doctor is not the enemy of your child and he does not have selfish motives (at least on the periphery) in prescribing medications. The doctor sees what the ordinary person's eye takes for "pranks, etc.", and if the diagnosis and treatment prescribed is questionable - contact another specialist, and do not look for an answer to the question on the Internet or at girlfriends. Pantogam copes well with problems in his field, and from side effects no one is immune. Health to you and your children.

My 9-year-old daughter pantokaltsin in combination with neuromultivitis (B vitamins), a neurologist prescribed by the doctor from absent-mindedness and inattention has greatly helped. At least that's what the teacher said, but after a certain time, he said: "Give me that child," that is. apparently the course should be repeated. And on the course you need 3-4 packs + neuromultivitis, yes, overtly, but effectively.

Pantokaltsin did not help us at all. My son was 1,5, walked on tiptoe and did not utter any sounds. We prescribed a neurologist cortexin injections and pantokaltsin, drank a course. No results. Have gone to other doctor to the psychologist-neurologist, have made EhoEG, intracranial pressure. To us already 2,6 months, does not speak in general. Now we are doing massage, actovegin, valerian, adaptol, triampur. The son became much calmer and more attentive. No complaints to the doctor. I regret that time has lost so much. And in occasion of, to give a preparation or not, to solve to you. Only one request, do not regret later, like me, that time has stretched. When that too has concerned not so seriously to treatment which was registered by the doctor of the senior daughter to her of 10 already. But, unfortunately, everything affects with time, now I'm flying both!

I am 64 years old. I live with my mother, who has vascular dementia. At complaints on psychoemotional overloads, deterioration of memory the doctor the neurologist has registered to me to accept pantokaltsin 0.5 3 times a day 7:00, 15:00, 23:00 it is long. Such a regime is not real for me, because according to the instructions it is necessary to take 15-30 minutes after eating.I accept after breakfast, lunch and dinner at different times. I finish the second packing. The positive effect was felt, it became brighter, the states of unmotivated weakness, fatigue, disappeared. But, to adhere to the mode of reception is not always obtained (15-30 minutes after eating). Question: how critical it is to withstand this interval, if it's been more than 30 minutes (50-80), is it better to skip the reception, or still take a pill?

LyubovBK, Yes, there's nothing to worry about. The main thing immediately after a meal is not taken and during food is not needed, but if the dinner was a long time and before dinner is still far away - you can freely take a pill Pantokaltsina. Moreover, you yourself note the positive effects of using this drug, which means that everything you do is right.

Hello everyone, I read your reviews about the drug. My daughter has hyperkinetic hypertension, his tone is elevated, he does not sit, he does not walk, he does not talk. Cerebral palsy is of severe form, but everything understands, looks cartoons, we promise with it constantly.Treatment is different - it is the order of the chickens, rehabilitation, speech therapy, psychologist, LFK, pool and many others. etc. Dynamics with the years it becomes better, the child so to say lay a layer and then we hope that it will be better. Now the neurologist has appointed pantokaltsin, said that it is a very good medicine, since we received reflexotherapy before the appointment of this drug, and therefore we need to drink pantokalcin, the effect will be even more effective.

Hello. I have a question. I was prescribed pantocalcin 500 mg. two times a day for a month. I use beer on weekends. Is it possible to drink at this time tablets or is it better to skip and start from Monday? Tell me, if anyone knows, thank you in advance.

Andrei, Pantokaltsin even helps with chronic alcohol intoxication, but posing the question kills, that is, we can not cancel the beer, so I better transfer the treatment.
