Hawthorn tincture

Hawthorn tincture is a traditional herbal pharmaceutical product manufactured by the Russian company Dalkhimpharm. It is an alcohol-based extract derived from the fruits or flowers of *Crataegus* species (hawthorn), which are rich in bioactive constituents such as flavonoids (e.g., hyperoside, quercetin), oligomeric proanthocyanidins, and polyphenols. The preparation is primarily used as a cardiotonic agent for the treatment of functional cardiovascular disorders, including mild heart failure (NYHA class I-II), cardiac arrhythmias such as tachycardia, and hypertension. Its mechanism of action involves increasing myocardial contractility (positive inotropic effect), improving coronary and peripheral blood circulation through vasodilation, and providing mild sedative and antioxidant effects. The product is administered orally and is part of Dalkhimpharm's established portfolio of marketed herbal medicines.
