Sedative action of extract combinations of Eschscholtzia californica and Corydalis cava.
The herbal drug Phytonoxon N (abbreviated as PN) is indicated in nervousness induced insomnia, agitation and/or anxiety. It is composed of alcoholic drug extracts of the plants Corydalis cava (20%) and Eschscholtzia californica (80%). Both plants are rich in isoquinoline alkaloids derived from tyrosine metabolism. Recent research shows that they may influence the neurotransmitter metabolism.
