Persen Forte 40 Tablets – Herbal Calming Aid for Stress, Insomnia & Tension

What is Persen? Herbal Sedative for Nervous Tension and Insomnia

Persen is a herbal medicinal product containing extracts of valerian root, lemon balm leaf and mint leaves. It provides mild sedation and is the treatment of choice for minor disorders where the use of potent sedatives is not rational.

Persen Indications

• Mild transient nervousness — including daily stress, anxiety and irritability
• Temporary difficulty sleeping (insomnia)

How Persen Works

Valerian root extract has a calming effect and relieves symptoms of nervous tension. Lemon balm leaf extract enhances the calming action of valerian. Mint leaf extract is traditionally used in conjunction with valerian for its soothing effect.

Before Taking Persen

Do not take Persen if you have allergies to valerian, lemon balm, mint or any other ingredient. It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. When combining Persen with synthetic sedative products, medical supervision is advised as specific interaction studies are not available.

Consult your healthcare professional before using Persen if you are pregnant or breast-feeding — specific safety data is not available and it is advised to avoid during these periods.

Persen may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery due to its sedative properties — avoid these activities immediately after taking.
