Medicinal properties
The drug has a pronounced calming and anti-anxiety effect, without developing undesirable muscle relaxant and hypnogenic effects. While taking the pills, the tolerance to psycho-emotional stress improves. The drug promotes the formation of specific protection of the central nervous system from stress, increases the resistance of brain tissue to oxygen deficiency. The medicine exhibits nootropic, antiasthenic, neuroprotective and strong antidepressant effects.
With the development of hypoxia or in case of intoxication, cerebral circulation disorders, the use of the drug allows you to limit the affected area, improve memory and learning. The drug acts as a neuroprotector.
Tenoten helps inhibit lipid oxidation.
The drug modifies the characteristic functional activity of the specific protein S-100; it ensures the fusion of metabolic as well as synaptic processes. The drug exhibits GABA-mimetic, as well as pronounced neutrophic effects, increases the activity of stress-limiting systems, and helps restore the processes of neuronal plasticity.
The drug naturally, as gently as possible, eliminates the very cause of the development of psycho-emotional pathologies, and does not provoke the occurrence of side symptoms either from the central nervous system or other organs.
Tenoten is characterized by a high safety profile, is available without a prescription, long-term use is not excluded, there is no risk of overdose, drug dependence does not develop, and withdrawal syndrome does not appear.
The drug, compared to other sedative medications, can be used by drivers. Tenoten is the optimal drug for the treatment of various psycho-emotional disorders, as well as autonomic dysfunction in the case of somatic ailments. A number of somatic pathologies are accompanied by anxiety and excessive worry, which significantly complicate their course. The success of treatment of somatic illnesses, first of all, depends on the stabilization of the emotional state.
Due to the vegetative-stabilizing effect of the drug, it is possible to normalize the tone of both the parasympathetic and sympathetic parts of the autonomic system itself, which helps to improve the course of adaptive-trophic reactions in the gastrointestinal tract (absorption, blood supply, as well as motility of the digestive organs). The drug helps reduce heart rate and blood pressure. The use of the medicine in the complex treatment of various somatic ailments helps to increase the therapeutic effectiveness of the medicine.
The drug acts selectively and does not inhibit the functioning of the nervous system. Does not have a direct effect on the functioning of brain structures, promotes the regulation of inhibition and excitation reactions. This effect is associated with the stabilization of the physiological mechanisms of the brain, as well as the correction of metabolism and subsequent transportation of nerve impulses. In this regard, the therapeutic effect of treatment is observed for a month after completion of the course of treatment.
Tenoten does not act immediately, but gradually, eliminating manifestations of anxiety, while increasing performance. The patient returns to a full life without worries and stress, thanks to which it is possible to devote time to family and favorite activities, without being distracted by negative emotions.
The pharmacokinetic properties of the drug have not yet been fully studied.

Reviews from parents
Marina
“Going to kindergarten turned out to be quite problematic for us. My Mashunya couldn’t get used to it. She threw real hysterics. So two weeks later we went to the neurologist. Tenoten for children was prescribed, one tablet three times a day, as a sedative. We adapted quite quickly. We’ve been walking for a year without any problems at all.”
Katya Lugina
“We had behavioral problems when we went to visit our grandparents. The first days there are constant whims, the sleep is disgusting. We all fell off our feet. Sashka was four years old. The doctor told us that this happens due to a change in the situation, and prescribed Tenoten for children. It was all gone as if by hand. He became the golden child."

Tenoten for children: reviews by Komarovsky, instructions for use, indications, contraindications
Children, like adults, experience nervous shocks - difficulties at school, exams, parental divorce and much more. As a result, the child begins to eat and sleep poorly, which leads to even greater health difficulties.
Children at an early age can simply scream, cry, be too active, and parents will think that something is wrong with their baby. In such situations, pediatrician Komarovsky recommends not Tenoten for children, but walking more, not overfeeding, and monitoring the temperature and room humidity.
In the case of schoolchildren, you need to communicate more, delve into the child’s problem, and exclude the influence of adult problems. According to the manufacturers, the drug Tenoten can reduce stress, providing a quick positive effect. Is it so?
Release form and composition
Children's Tenoten is available in the form of round, white, absorbable tablets. One blister consists of 20 tablets. Available in packages of 1, 2 or 5 blisters (20, 40 or 100 tablets).
The drug contains 3 mg of the main active ingredient – affinity-purified antibodies to the brain-specific protein S-100.
Excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and lactose monohydrate.
IMPORTANT: Tenoten for children is considered homeopathic. Remember that the effect of homeopathic remedies has not yet been proven!
Therapeutic effect
Many pediatricians (but not Komarovsky) advise Tenoten for children, since the drug, according to the manufacturers, is capable of normalizing nerve cells. They claim that Tenoten has the following effects:
- Reduces weakness, lethargy, exhaustion caused by mental or physical asthenia;
- Calms (relieves nervous tension);
- Prevents amnesia and restores memory;
- Relieves anxiety caused by various reasons;
- Has an antidepressant effect;
- Increases the amount of oxygen entering brain cells, which improves blood circulation;
- Protects nerve cells from negative factors;
- Improves thinking abilities, memory and attention, allows you to concentrate and absorb more information in a minimum time;
- Protects the brain from the negative effects of stress, which allows you to maintain sanity and stabilize your emotional state.
Despite its wide range of actions and free sale, Tenoten should be used only as prescribed by a doctor and only in prescribed doses.
Reviews from Parents
A parent's opinion about Tenoten on the Komarovsky forum
There are both positive reviews from parents and negative video reviews on the Internet. Here is an example of one of them:
Analogs
A significant part of pediatricians believe that Tenoten for children is ideal for the treatment of many nervous diseases. But there are cases when the drug is not suitable for the patient; there are several analogues of Tenoten. These include:
- Valerianahel;
- Proprothene-100;
- Edas-306;
- Kandinorm;
- Persen;
- Notta.
In childhood, it is recommended to take not only lozenges, but also drops that can be added to a drink or food. But be careful, most of the drugs (possibly all) are dummies and do not have any therapeutic effect.
Conclusion based on Komarovsky’s opinion
Direct opinion about this drug E.O. Komarovsky did not express it, but based on words about homeopathy, pills in general, neurologists, child behavior, we can say that:
- Homeopathic medicines and ultra-low dose medicines (like Tenoten) are a dummy, a waste of money.
- Tablets, in the cases described at the beginning of the article, are not needed.
- Many manifestations in a child’s behavior are normal.
To quote Evgeniy Olegovich, we can say, “There are no magic pills, they are dad and mom.”

Tenoten: instructions for use for children
Taking sedatives in our time is not something out of the ordinary; for this it is not at all necessary to be mentally ill or suffer from severe neuroses.
They can easily be shown to people during periods of strong emotional stress, excessive anxiety, lack of concentration, etc.
In pediatric practice, sedatives are also prescribed quite often, because children have a much more unstable psyche and are more susceptible to the influence of stressful situations.
And if you can’t do without a sedative, then young parents want it to have the most natural composition, not cause drowsiness and not affect the speed of the child’s reactions.
In this article we will look at one of these remedies - the homeopathic sedative Tenoten, which is designed specifically for children.
What is the drug Tenoten, can children safely take it, how to do it, and what analogues can replace it if necessary - read on.
Composition and release form
Tenoten is produced in Russia in one single form - round, flat tablets of small diameter.
There are two types of this medication on sale: for children and for adults, which differ only in the dosage of the active substance.
Such a substance in these tablets is affinity-purified antibodies to the S-100 protein located in the brain.
The S-100 protein itself is responsible for transmitting impulses directly between brain structures (for example, from the area that is responsible for contemplation to the cerebral hemispheres, in which “processing” of information already occurs), and also protects brain cells from negative influences, such as including from tension during stress.
Additional substances include: lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose.
Operating principle
Thanks to the active component included in its composition, Tenoten has the following effects:
- relieves nervous tension;
- eliminates anxiety;
- provides emotional stability, protecting brain cells from the effects of stress;
- helps get rid of depression;
- improves memory, has a positive effect on concentration;
- activates the brain, helping it “process” large amounts of information;
- improves cerebral circulation and helps supply the brain with sufficient oxygen;
- increases the vitality of brain cells;
- prevents the onset of asthenia.
At what age can it be prescribed
Tenoten is indicated for use in children over 3 years of age. The manufacturer lists children under 3 years of age as contraindications for the use of this drug.
Contraindications and possible side effects
The sedative we are considering does not have many contraindications. Among them are only:
- age up to 3 years;
- intolerance to the components of the drug.
Side effects due to the use of this drug can only be various allergic reactions, as indicated by the manufacturer.
Directions for use and dosage
Tenoten tablets are intended for resorption; they must be kept in the mouth until completely dissolved, without chewing. It is best to take these tablets 15 minutes before or after a meal. If a child has difficulty absorbing the tablet, then it can be pre-dissolved in a small amount of water and given to him to drink.
The recommended dosage is:
- for neurotic disorders – 1 tablet 1 to 3 times a day;
- for hyperactivity and attention deficit – 2 tablets 2 times a day.
The duration of treatment, as a rule, is determined individually by the attending physician and, on average, ranges from 1 to 3 months (if necessary, the course can last longer).
Reviews
Larisa: “I’ve been working as a pediatrician for more than 10 years, and all I can say about the drug Tenoten is that it’s a dummy. He has never helped anyone properly before.
Rather, people are helped more by self-hypnosis, the so-called placebo effect, and not by these pills. I don't recommend it to anyone. There are many other worthy and really effective drugs that can be purchased much cheaper.
Pharmacy employees are very fond of recommending it, as they make money from it.”
Marina: “And I liked the effect that I got as a result of taking these pills for a month. I was in my senior year at the time, and the anticipation of exams and early admission to university was killing me. After taking Tenoten, I became less anxious, healthy sleep and good appetite returned. I recommend".
Maryana: “I myself am very nervous, I take everything to heart and worry about any reason. Tenoten tablets were recommended to me by my psychologist.
She said that they have an absolutely natural composition and will not harm me in any way, and they also do not have an excessive sedative effect, so I will not walk around like a zombie.
I liked the tablets: they taste good, are affordable, and thanks to them I became much less nervous. In principle, I don’t think I need any stronger drug.”
Inga: “These pills have saved me more than once in stressful situations. And even when I need to work for a very long time, and because of fatigue I can no longer concentrate, I’ll take a pill - and after 20 minutes my ability to work returns.”
Ulyana: “The local pediatrician prescribed Tenoten tablets to my child, who was 2 years old at that time. He often threw tantrums at me, beat other kids, etc.
But I was confused that the annotation included children under 3 years of age among the contraindications. I also decided to go to a neurologist for a consultation.
The neurologist criticized this drug and said that it can only be used to sweeten tea, but it is not suitable for putting the nerves in order.”
