Cerepro 400mg capsules №28

Active substance

Choline alfoscerat

Composition

Capsules soft gelatinous, from red to brown color, oblong; the contents of the capsules are oily, clear, colorless or slightly colored liquid.

1 caps (glycerylphosphorylcholine hydrate) 400 mg

Excipients:glycerol (glycerin), purified water.

The composition of the shell of the capsule: medical gelatin, glycerol (glycerin), methyl parahydroxybenzoate (methyl paraben), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (propyl paraben), iron dye red oxide, titanium dioxide, purified water, sorbitol (sorbitol).

Mechanism of action

Cholinomimetic central action, which contains 40.5% of metabolically protected choline (metabolic protection contributes to the release of choline in the brain). When ingested, it is broken down by the action of enzymes on choline and glycerophosphate: choline is involved in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine, one of the main mediators of nervous excitation; glycerophosphate is a precursor of phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine) of the neuronal membrane. The drug provides the synthesis of acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine in neuronal membranes, improves blood flow and enhances metabolic processes in the central nervous system, activates the reticular formation; increases linear blood flow velocity on the side of traumatic brain damage,contributes to the normalization of the spatial-temporal characteristics of the spontaneous bioelectric activity of the brain; It has a positive effect on the cognitive and behavioral reactions of patients with vascular diseases of the brain.

The drug improves brain function by acting on the pathogenetic factors of involutional psychoorganic syndrome, changes the phospholipid composition of neuronal membranes and reduces cholinergic activity. Dose-dependent stimulates the release of acetylcholine, participating in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (membrane phospholipid), improves synaptic transmission, plasticity of neuronal membranes, the function of receptors.

Indications
