Pharmacology

Anvifen, a nootropic agent, facilitates GABA-mediated transmission of nerve impulses in the central nervous system (direct effect on GABA-ergic receptors). The tranquilizing effect is combined with an activating effect. It also has antiaggregant, antioxidant and some anticonvulsant action. Improves the functional state of the brain due to the normalization of its metabolism and effect on cerebral blood flow (increases volumetric and linear speed,reduces vascular resistance, improves microcirculation, has antiplatelet effect). Extends the latent period and shortens the duration and severity of nystagmus. Does not affect cholino and adrenoreceptors. Reduces vasovegetative symptoms (including headache, feeling of heaviness in the head, sleep disturbances, irritability, emotional lability). During coursework, it increases physical and mental performance (attention, memory, speed and accuracy of sensory-motor reactions). Decreases the manifestations of asthenia (improves health, increases interest and initiative (motivation of activity)) without sedation or arousal.
