Apply Phenibutum for the treatment of ischemic stroke. In this case, it can be administered immediately after a stroke. Under the influence of phenibut (he was appointed in the complex treatment) neurons, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the lesion (necrotic or dead neurons) to quickly restore its function.

At a later stage of restorative treatment Phenibutum prescribed for hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain), and traumatic brain injuries, but only if there is confidence that the bleeding stopped for a long time (Phenibutum helps to improve blood circulation and may contribute to bleeding).

When violations of the vestibular apparatus (for example, Meniere's disease) Phenibutum helps restore coordination.

Children Phenibutum used to treat children's fears, enuresis (bedwetting), stuttering and various tics (involuntary muscle contractions).

Cere is a drug, a positive effect on the brain. It improves the metabolism of the brain cells (neurons) and protects them from the harmful effects, lowers the threshold of sensitivity to lack of oxygen and increases the plastic properties of the brain.

How does cerebrolysin

Cere - a nootropic drug with neuroprotective, neyroplasticheskim regulating metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   action. Active ingredient Cerebrolysin is a complex of peptides derived from porcine brain. Peptides easily cross the blood-brain barrier (barrier between blood and brain) and get into the brain, it is actively working on the cells.

The positive effect on metabolism (metabolic regulation) is that cerebrolysin able to restore the energy potential of the cells and stimulate the synthesis of intracellular protein, which is very important for the developing child, and for the aging brain.

The neuroprotective effect tserobrolizina - is to protect the neurons from the harmful effects, including from the damaging effects of free radicals. This prolongs the life of the neurons and prevents their aging. The neuroprotective effect cerebrolysin allows nerve cells to function actively in a lack of oxygen, such as cerebrovascular disorders, including stroke.

Neyroplasticheskoe effect is that tsebrolizin restores damaged connections between neurons and creates new connections. This allows survivors after trauma or stroke neurons quickly restore its function. In applying the drug improves memory, intelligence, ability to concentrate on a particular subject or lesson. The patient can recover lost skills (important for elderly patients), or to get new skills and knowledge (important for children and adolescents).

When violations of cerebral circulation cerebrolysin can prevent the development of ischemic stroke because it reduces the need for oxygen in neurons. If you have suffered stroke, he contributes to a more rapid recovery of brain function.

The same thing happens with the cranial and spinal injuries: broken links in the brain cells recover quickly, reducing the risk of development of the organic diseases of the brain (in violation of its structure).

Cere widely used in children for the treatment of perinatal (obtained in the second half of pregnancy, during labor and immediately after birth) brain lesions. It contributes to a more rapid mental development, reduce the increased motor activity and increase attention span in children.

Finally, Cerebrolysin used in the treatment of mental illness Mental illness - ashamed to ask for help?   (such as manic-depressive illness), are accompanied by depression, antidepressants are not treatable. In this case, it helps to improve the mood of patients.

He does not have teratogenicity (congenital malformations) and toxic effects on the fetus, however, its use is limited due to the fact that in this cohort of patients in clinical trials have not been conducted.

Do cerebrolysin side effects?

Cere - a non-toxic drug. The low molecular weight of its constituent peptides eliminates the possibility of anaphylactic shock. Other allergic reactions sometimes occur. But as a rule, are not heavy flow.
