Gliatilin capsules used to as quickly as possible to restore brain function, impaired disease, a metabolic disorder in the brain cells or brain injury. Under the influence of gliatilin improves cerebral blood flow and metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in neurons.

Capsules gliatilin - how they act in the human brain

Gliatilin (active ingredient - choline alfostserat) has a positive effect on the brain by improving the biochemical processes in neurons (nerve cells). The mechanism of action of this drug depends on the fact that in humans it is decomposed into two metabolites - choline and glycerophosphate. Both of these materials are vital brain cells to function properly.

Choline is a source of additional education of acetylcholine - a substance with which a neuron to transmit nerve impulses (neurotransmitter). And from glycerophosphate obtained phospholipids - the basis of neuronal membranes. Phospholipids strengthen the membrane of neurons and acetylcholine transmit nerve impulses - it helps restore the plasticity slightly damaged neurons, which are usually surrounded by dead cells in the lesion.

This is a very important action, because due to neuronal plasticity restored old and the formation of new connections between neurons, which are nerve impulses. Thus, healthy or slightly injured neurons take on the role of the victims.

What matters is how soon after the onset of illness or injury, the patient began to take gliatilin. Typically, it is administered on the first day of illness or injury, but only when there is no intracranial bleeding. For example, in ischemic stroke, he was appointed the first day of the disease, and in hemorrhagic (brain haemorrhage) gliatilin appointed only during the recovery period.

Capsules gliatilin worked well, and therefore now widely used in the treatment of various diseases and injuries of the brain.

Who and how to prescribe

Capsules gliatilin prescribed for a variety of diseases and injuries of the brain. For example, the appointment of the drug in the first days after an ischemic stroke ensures that patients will come to mind. Better and faster is in this case and the recovery period.

But if a stroke is hemorrhagic in nature (that is, if violating the integrity of the blood vessel in the brain), from the first days of treatment gliatilin can not be used because of the potential increase blood flow and renewal of intracranial bleeding. The recovery period gliatilin in hemorrhagic stroke is used and contributes to the rapid recovery of brain function.

The capsules have been used gliatilin and traumatic brain injuries in children and adults. In this case, if no intracranial hemorrhage gliatilin assigned from the first days. Positive drug affects the state of children after a traumatic brain injury.

Widely used gliatilin capsules for the treatment of dementia of any origin, for example, senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease. With long-term systematic admission of the drug in patients stops the progression of dementia and gradually (in part) to recover lost skills, memory and intelligence.

Apply capsule gliatilin also in the neuroses, accompanied by heightened emotionality, irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper , Changeable mood. Decreases and such psychic phenomena as a bad mood and anxiety Anxiety - how to distinguish normal from disease? .

Do capsules gliatilin contraindications and side effects?

Contraindications gliatilin the capsules when you are hypersensitive to the components of the drug by the body of the patient. You can not use it also during pregnancy and nursing Breastfeeding - a personal choice   breast - clinical trials gliatilin on data of patients have not been conducted. Age restrictions have capsules gliatilin not, however, in children this drug is mainly used in the treatment of traumatic brain injury.

When taking capsules gliatilin can drive vehicles and to engage in any other activity that requires special attention and coordination of movements.

Side effects in gliatilin insignificant. So, against the background of his admission in some patients nausea. The same symptom may indicate overdose gliatilin. Nausea should not be a reason to cancel it - should reconsider the dosage.

There are also allergic reactions in which gliatilin should be lifted immediately.

Contraindications for use betaserk there, but many of them, as an active substance of this drug is a synthetic analogue of histamine - a substance present in all cells and tissues. However, take into account contraindications when appointing betaserk necessary.

Features betaserk action on the human body

Active ingredient betaserk Betaserk - a drug that helps restore the balance   betahistine is - a synthetic analogue of histamine. Histamine - a substance that serves multiple functions in the body. It is involved in the regulation of vital functions of the organism and plays an important role in the development of a number of disease states.

Histamine is found in large quantities in the inactive bound form in various organs and tissues of animals and humans. Histamine is released during inflammation and allergic reactions. The release of histamine from a bound state in allergic reactions is characteristic reactions such as redness and swelling of the skin, itching, burning, blistering. A certain amount of histamine contained in the brain, where it acts as a neurotransmitter (facilitates the transmission of nervous excitement from neuron to).

In the body, there are three types of specific histamine receptors - N1-, H2 and H3 receptors. Under the action of histamine H1- receptors to dilate the capillaries, liquid part of blood into the surrounding tissue propotevaet appear edema, narrowed bronchi. When exposed to histamine H2 - receptors is an increase in gastric acid secretion.

When exposed to the histamine H3 - receptors located in the central and peripheral nervous system, is suppressed release of neurotransmitters (GABA, acetylcholine, serotonin, norepinephrine).

Similarly, histamine acts and betaserk he gently stimulates the activity of the H1 - histamine receptors, thus activating the capillary blood circulation (including in the form of the inner ear). At the same time it inhibits the activity of the H3 receptor, which leads to suppression of such manifestations as dizziness Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet   and poor coordination. This allows you to apply betaserk in the pathology of the inner ear - violation of balance and hearing.

Side effects

Betaserk have few side effects and are usually at lower doses they disappear. In most cases, when taking this drug are side effects from the gastrointestinal tract - nausea, vomiting, sometimes, excessive flatulence, abdominal pain Moderate Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms .

Sometimes there is a side effect of the central nervous system (the brain) in the form of headache.

Quite often when taking betaserk develop allergic reactions. They appear in the form of urticaria with the transition to angioedema, various types of allergic itchy rash. In very rare cases, anaphylactic shock. If you suspect an allergy reception betaserk should be discontinued.

This is contraindicated betaserk

To apply betaserk few contraindications. The main contraindication for receiving it is the presence of the patient pheochromocytomas - tumors of the adrenal medulla, actively producing hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. Under the influence of these hormones in patients periodically develop crises with increased blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, panic attacks, and so on. If a patient with pheochromocytoma enter histamine, it can provoke an attack. And as the active substance betaserk (betahistine) acts like histamine, assign it to patients with pheochromocytoma is impossible.

It is not necessary to apply betaserk as during acute gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcers, as a synthetic analogue of histamine can stimulate gastric acid secretion and increase canker wall of the gastrointestinal tract.

Contraindications reception betaserk are hypersensitive to the components of the drug by the body of the patient.

There are also contraindications for receiving betaserk associated not with identified side effects, and the absence of clinical trials on selected patient population. Thus betaserk not recommended during pregnancy, despite the fact that laboratory animal tests showed no negative impact of the drug to the fetus. It is also unknown whether betaserk allocated with breast milk, so it is not recommended for use during feeding baby Breastfeeding - a personal choice   feeding. Not conducted clinical trials on children, so the drug is not used to treat children and adolescents up to 18 years.

The caution is recommended to appoint betaserk patients with gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcers, even without exacerbation.

Betaserk - effective and relatively safe drug, but it should be used only on prescription.
