Pharmacodynamics

Nootropic drug. Central anticholinergic stimulant, which contains 40.5% metabolically protected choline. Metabolic protection promotes the release of choline in the brain. 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 the linear speed of blood flow on the side of the traumatic brain injury, promotes the normalization of the spatio-temporal characteristics of spontaneous bioelectrical activity of the brain, regression of focal neurological symptoms and restoration of consciousness; has a positive effect on the cognitive and behavioral reactions of patients with vascular diseases of the brain (dyscirculatory encephalopathy and residual effects of cerebrovascular accident). It has a preventive and corrective effect on the pathogenetic factors of involutional psychoorganic syndrome, changes the phospholipid composition of neuron membranes; participates in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (membrane phospholipid); improves the plasticity of neuronal membranes. Stimulates the dose-dependent release of acetylcholine under physiological conditions, improves synaptic transmission and receptor function. Does not affect the reproductive cycle and does not have a teratogenic or mutagenic effect.
