Bekhterev's mixture

Bekhterev's mixture (Russian: Микстура Бехтерева, MixturaBechtereva) is a medicine with a sedative effect, affecting the central nervous system. The mixture was proposed by Russian neurologist Vladimir Bekhterev as a treatment for mild forms of epilepsy and heart disease in 1898.[1] It was subsequently named after him. One of the oldest and most popular medicines of its type, it is used to treat light forms of heart failure, panic disorder, and dystonia.[2][3] The medicine is known to be well tolerated, with no contra-indications, except bromine sensitivity (may cause rashes).[4]

The formula contains infusion of Adonis vernalis (6 parts in 180), sodium bromide (6g) and codeine phosphate (0.2g).[5]
