Improving brain metabolism, which is most characteristic of drugs with nootropic effects, is important in the treatment of patients with vascular pathology of the brain. Cerebrovascular drugs also have this effect, but with developing dyscirculatory encephalopathy, the effect of vascular drugs is clearly not enough. The main clinical effects of drugs in this group are improvement of memory and intellectual functions, reduction of signs of neurological disorders. They help improve hemodynamic parameters and increase the brain's resistance to hypoxia (neuroprotective effect). Drugs that are more characterized by these effects include piracetam (Nootropil), Aminalon and Gammalon (GLMK), pyritinol (Encephabol, Enabol), Gliatilin, Cortexin, Cerebrolysin.

Actovegin

Deproteinized calf blood derivative containing low molecular weight peptides and derivatives nucleic acids. The effect of the drug is manifested in the improvement of energy-dependent processes due to improved oxygen supply to tissues, increased their ability to utilize oxygen and glucose, increased activity of oxidative phosphorylation enzymes, increased utilization of lactates, and normalization of the acidity of the intracellular environment. Actovegin increases the transport of glucose into cells and the inclusion of oxygen in them, as a result of which aerobic oxidation increases and the formation of ATP increases, and the breakdown of anaerobic glycolysis products accelerates. Actovegin has both a central effect, stimulating cerebral metabolic processes, and a fairly pronounced effect in peripheral vascular disorders. Contraindicated with hypersensitivity to the drug. Side effects include allergic and anaphylactic reactions. Release form: tablets forte 200 mg; injection solution of 80, 200 and 400 mg in 2, 5 and 10 ml, respectively in ampoules of 2, 5 and 10 ml.

Nootropic drug to improve cerebral circulation: Aminalon or Gammalon

It is a preparation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a natural metabolite of brain tissue involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. GABA is one of the main inhibitory transmitters in the central nervous system. Under the influence of GABA, the energy processes of the brain are also activated, the respiratory activity of tissues increases, and the utilization of glucose and blood supply improves. Gammalon is used mainly for dyscirculatory encephalopathy in elderly people. By the nature of the therapeutic effect, the drug is close to Nootropil. Its effect develops slowly, so long-term use is required. An important additional property of the drug is its ability to reduce the severity of emotional stress and improve sleep, which is also important for older people. The drug is prescribed to adults 445 tablets 3 times a day. Side effects: nausea, insomnia, increased body temperature. Contraindications : hypersensitivity. Release form: 250 mg tablets.

Nootropic drug to improve cerebral circulation: Gliatilin

A drug containing choline alfoscerate is a precursor of acetylcholine, which is not destroyed in the blood and penetrates the brain. It affects primarily cholinergic receptors in the central nervous system, facilitates the transmission of nerve impulses in neurons, improves the plasticity of neuronal membranes and receptor function. The drug has a neuroprotective effect, improving the vitality of neurons and their ability to tolerate hypoxia. Its important advantage compared to other presynaptic anticholinergic drugs (lecithin, methionine) is the direct preservation, and possibly the increase and deposition of the endogenous pool of acetylcholine, myelin and phospholipids, which explains its weak effect on the sensitivity of the synapse (does not reduce it). Gliatilin is used both in acute conditions (ampouled form for parenteral administration) and during the period of rehabilitation and treatment of chronic diseases (capsules). In acute cerebrovascular accidents and traumatic brain injuries, fast recovery consciousness of the patient even without the additional use of other drugs. During the rehabilitation period and in the treatment of chronic cerebrovascular accidents, the drug has a positive effect: improves speech, mental activity and memory, increases independent motor activity; there is greater criticality towards one's condition. Gliatilin does not contain foreign proteins, has virtually no side effects, is excreted primarily through the lungs in the form of carbon dioxide, which makes it possible to use it in patients with severe concomitant pathology. The significant therapeutic breadth of the drug makes it possible to prescribe it, if necessary, for a long time and in large doses, which makes Gliatilin a priority in acute cerebral pathology (traumatic brain injury, acute cerebrovascular accident), in pathological or iatrogenic (surgery, anesthesia) conditions associated with a deep disturbance of consciousness and the need for its speedy restoration (stunning - coma, drug-induced sleep).

The high safety of the drug allows its use in patients of various age groups. The substitutive properties of Gliatilin allow one to count on the high clinical effectiveness of the drug in progressive dementia (Alzheimer's disease), chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency accompanied by severe intellectual-mnestic and motor disorders (Binswanger's disease, dyscirculatory encephalopathy), post-sprumatic encephalopathy (including Wernicke's alcoholic encephalopathy), congenital degenerative diseases of the central nervous system and minor cerebral dysfunction in children, which are accompanied by neurotransmitter deficiency. The drug is available in the form of capsules of 400 mg and solution for injection (1 ml - 250 mg), in a 4 ml ampoule. In acute conditions, Gliatilin is administered intramuscularly or intravenously at 1-4 g (1 to 4 amps) per day. For chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency and dementia syndromes, the drug is prescribed 400 mg 3 times a day, preferably before meals. The duration of treatment is 3-6 months.

There are contraindications. Specialist consultation is required.

Almost all vascular drugs to improve blood circulation in the brain are developed based on innovative technologies. They contain an unusually large number of new components that help brain vessels recover.

Impaired cerebral circulation, of course, cannot lead to anything good. Gradually, this problem began to be studied quite carefully by specialists at various levels, which led to the understanding that with the help of a variety of drugs it is possible to achieve that cerebral circulation will be significantly improved. It doesn’t even matter whether these disorders are caused by injuries or systemic diseases of the body - the result will be the most positive.

Please note that there is no reason to relax, because impaired cerebral circulation leads to such diseases that it becomes even scary.

The cost of your inaction

To begin with, you need to understand that the price of your inaction is quite high, because the lack of proper blood circulation in the brain, the lack of actions on your part to improve this blood circulation, will lead to the fact that blood clots, atherosclerosis, osteochondrosis, hypertension and guaranteed stress and worries for the rest of your life. It’s unlikely that anyone would want to live in such a state.

If previously you could only hope for a miracle, modern medicine helps you take the situation under your personal control, for which there are a variety of drugs that will significantly improve important processes, occurring inside the human body.

Modern medications for improving memory and cerebral circulation are extremely effective. We can say that the effect of the drug on the human body is so serious that sometimes some weakness occurs. Drugs that improve microcirculation are being developed using the latest technologies using unique components and substances. If you really want to get rid of various types pathologies and blood supply disorders, then you definitely need to undergo drug therapy.

You need to constantly monitor your health. Almost all diseases are directly related to impaired blood supply to the brain and organs. Any difficulties should be solved using unique drugs that can really help you. Next, the main categories of medications, their actions and properties will be considered. You should take pills only with the consent of your doctor and prior consultation with him.

Drugs for vasodilation

One of the key types medicines are drugs for dilating blood vessels. This is logical, because these funds will help to significantly improve blood flow, which will allow brain cells to work quite actively and, as you understand, quite effectively. The improvement in blood supply will be very high quality, you will have the opportunity to feel an influx of strength and the opportunity to return to a full life.

It is very important that the pharmacological action leads to the fact that oxygen starvation is prevented, which makes it possible to significantly improve the supply of nutrients to the right areas - you will be really happy with this.

With the help of such drugs, without any side effects, you can take complete control of the situation, so immediately after consulting with your doctor, if he has approved your initiative, you need to get down to business, because every day is very important.

If you need drugs of this type, then pay attention to potassium antagonists. To improve cerebral circulation, these drugs have been used for a long time and with very high degree efficiency. Pay attention to a rather important detail - this is not about the fact that the study of this area and the creation of drugs here has just begun, but that you have the opportunity to use the third generation of these drugs, the effectiveness of which can be called simply phenomenal.

Tone venous vessels does not decrease, and potassium antagonists help improve blood circulation due to the expansion of elastic arteries, or rather even due to the relaxation of their muscle wall. This allows you to get a guaranteed result, get rid of possible addiction and allow the person to control the situation himself, because in essence the person gets rid of dependence on the doctor and decides for himself what to do.

Preparations based on herbal ingredients

Preparations based on herbal components simply could not remain without really a lot of attention. Indeed, as a means of preventing cerebrovascular accidents, these drugs are simply amazingly effective. It cannot be said that their development was so easy for the specialists, but we must admit that the quality of the work done was simply amazing. Now we see products that are actually created from herbal ingredients, but at the same time have a minimum number of contraindications and amazing effectiveness.

It is very important that, after passing a huge number of tests, it was decided that some of this type of drugs can be produced without a doctor’s prescription, that is, they can be used precisely as prophylactic agents and done when you want.

Especially in this category, it is necessary to highlight drugs based on vinca alkaloids, which have gained simply amazing popularity based on truly high-quality care. These products help to significantly improve metabolism in brain cells. In addition, it is quite effective in blocking the possible formation of blood clots, and also improves cerebral circulation.

Remember that distinguishing feature This type of medication is that they should never be used without prior consultation.

And in general, this area is so complex that without consulting specialists it is advised not to do anything at all. Remember that the brain alone is much less studied than the rest of the body combined. Although specialists have the ability to help you prevent and treat existing disease, incredibly little is actually known about the brain.

Preparations based on nicotinic acid

IN recent years, drugs based on nicotinic acid continue to gain incredible popularity. You can take them only after a full examination and consultation with a doctor, but the likelihood that they will be prescribed to you is really high. The point is that these drugs, without any side effects, will help to significantly improve cerebral circulation and stop terrible destructive processes that could cause the early onset of serious diseases.

More and more larger number people owe their lives to these drugs, which protect their brains from the negative consequences of an accelerated pace of life, poor nutrition and the disgusting ecology of modern civilizations.

It is important to understand here that the drugs belonging to this group are completely unique, because they do not affect large vessels at all. These drugs act on capillaries, producing a vasodilator effect. Thus, we can get an extremely wide distribution of the effects of this drug.

If you take these particular medications, there is no risk that one area of ​​the brain will begin to receive the required volume of blood, while another will begin to receive insufficient.

If this happens, doctors begin a very long and complex process of searching for the reasons for what happened, but in this case you can really get rid of it with confidence. In addition, the use of nicotinic acid leads to the strengthening of the walls of blood vessels. The result is simply an amazing effect, in which we expand blood flow, but at the same time make them stronger - a sort of 2-in-1 effect.

Let us remind you once again that self-medication with the help of such means is completely impossible. Treatment must be carried out in courses of injections, which must be performed under medical supervision. Only in rare cases is a patient prescribed tablet treatment if he cannot tolerate injections or is afraid of injections.

Preparations for strengthening the walls of blood vessels

This category of drugs is simply huge, which allows, with the proper desire, a level knowledge and experience, choose what is 100% suitable for you, along with all the characteristics of the body. A huge number of drugs belonging to this category, as is clear from the name, have only one goal - strengthening the walls of blood vessels. This is not easy to achieve, so it was carried out huge amount complex research that allowed us to achieve the desired result.

This result turned out to be an opportunity to develop a truly effective principle of influence. Over the years of development of these drugs, it was possible to get rid of side effects, it was possible to add a variety of vitamins and minerals to the drugs, which turn one tablet into a whole range of effective and useful measures, which was not the case before.

It is important to note here that both doctors and ordinary citizens write a huge amount about these drugs. positive feedback, recommend them to their friends and it really works. We can say that this is the real dream of absolutely any doctor - the opportunity to cure a person without any negative consequences, the opportunity to do this even before the disease strikes. You will strengthen the walls of blood vessels to improve their elasticity, so that the body does everything extremely naturally and literally playfully.

It is very important that if you decide to use these drugs in order to improve the condition of your body, use them in advance, and not after things have already gone wrong.

It would seem that what could be simpler than this obvious recommendation? In fact, it is observed extremely rarely, so you need to pay attention and overcome the desire to put everything off for more and more days, finally get down to business and correct the state of affairs in which you find yourself.

Nootropic drugs

Nootropic drugs have only recently been able to truly prove their worth. Of all the product categories listed here, they are the most complex, because they are based on scientific achievements of recent years, which have not yet been brought even close to perfection. Please note that these drugs are based on knowledge about stimulation of metabolism and the functioning of nervous tissue.

Now you have the opportunity to use drugs, the accuracy of the effect on the body can be called absolutely phenomenal. Among the results of the work of these drugs, for example, one can note the fact that they significantly increase the brain’s resistance to lack of oxygen, and this is a really serious problem.

Hypoxia leads to the fact that a huge number of people lose efficiency, feel weak, nauseous in a stuffy room, and cannot do anything really well. With the help of these drugs and a truly responsible approach to their use, you can get rid of this problem.

In addition, nootropic drugs significantly increase a person’s intellectual abilities, strengthen memory, which allows you to achieve very, very much, which you, in turn, will be quite satisfied with. Please note that these drugs contain natural amino acids, and this is an additional list of positive effects.

It is important to note that these drugs are one of the most versatile. Their ability to be truly effectively used for a large number of different conditions has led to the fact that in recent years the popularity and demand for nootropic drugs has increased several times.

Please note that these are the drugs that help the body protect or recover from vascular dementia, coma, and chronic cerebral ischemia.

The list of these terrible ailments can be continued for a long time, but now the main thing is that you will be provided with the most professional help, which you will be very pleased with. Now, if the doctor prescribes this remedy for you after analyzing all the examinations, you can sleep peacefully - nootropic drugs will help everyone, regardless of the complexity of the condition in which the person finds himself.

Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents

A separate category of drugs are anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. Their idea is quite interesting, understandable, and incredibly effective in practice. The point is that these drugs were created in order to reduce blood viscosity. Indeed, improving blood flow leads to normalization of cerebral circulation.

It cannot be said that the implementation of this approach was so simple, but the result was recorded and this is the main thing. Now there is an opportunity to fight for the restoration of health, for the normalization of blood circulation without spending a lot of money, avoiding side effects, and simply feel confident using the most effective means possible.

It is important to understand that before using these products you must undergo an examination and there is no need to experiment. Particular attention is paid to the risk of transient ischemic attacks. If there is such a risk, then the products cannot be used. You shouldn’t be afraid of this, because a specialist will definitely choose something different and effective for you.

Note that antiplatelet agents simply do an ideal job of blocking the formation of blood clots and blocking the development of thromboembolism - this is practically unique property, which otherwise can only be obtained through a combination of various drugs.

In the event that the doctor has given you a recommendation to use these particular drugs, you can relax a little, because this means that the doctor analyzed many tests and made a conclusion that you are not in a dangerous condition, but you still need help the body to cope with potential threats. In addition, you will be assigned follow-up monitoring, which will allow you to strictly individually determine how long this product will need to be used.

Remember that there will be no need to take the medicine for a long time, because quite quickly this category of drugs reduces blood clotting and improves microcirculation in the capillaries.

Medicines also have different indicators of action. Some cannot be used for a long time, others should only be used in combination with auxiliary medications.

All this is of great importance for the human body. After reading the instructions for use, you can immediately get the proper help. That is, the main treatment factors are indicated precisely in the document that comes with the medicine.

Homeopathic remedies

It’s worth finishing with not the largest group, but still a useful one - homeopathic remedies. This includes golden iodine and other similar remedies. The fact is that they do not eliminate the problem, but they help very well as an additional remedy. For example, it is golden iodine that helps to cope perfectly with tinnitus, headaches, unsteady gait, and weakened memory. Despite the fact that the remedy is only auxiliary, without it you can really achieve good results it would be either impossible or much more difficult, because its value is great.

Malfunctions in the cardiovascular and nervous systems lead a person to a doctor, who is obliged to prescribe vascular medications to improve blood circulation in the brain. The performance of the brain, like other vital organs, depends on the condition of the blood vessels, which must provide the body with all the necessary substances. When the brain stops receiving these substances in full, this gradually brings a person closer to life-threatening diseases. To avoid unpleasant consequences and improve physical condition, the doctor is obliged to prescribe vascular drugs to the patient that will restore the activity of the brain and heart.

Symptoms of vascular diseases

The task of the vessels is to supply the necessary substances, oxygen and blood to all human organs. In order for them to be efficient, they must be elastic and durable, which will allow them to work without deviations. If these conditions are violated, the vessels will become fragile or compacted, which will lead to the following diseases:

• atherosclerosis;
• migraines;
• vegetative-vascular dystonia.

No matter what age a person is, he may experience the following symptoms:

• sleep disturbance;
• deterioration of memory and mental activity;
• deterioration of morale and development of depression;
• numbness of the limbs;
• constant fatigue;
• dizziness.

These and other unpleasant symptoms occur against the background oxygen starvation, and can lead to more serious disorders in the body, so you should not postpone a visit to a therapist.

What medications are used

By seeking help from a doctor in time, you will receive complex treatment and avoid stroke and heart attack. You can improve blood circulation in the brain with several types of medications, which are divided into three groups:

• vasodilators;
• medications to prevent blood clots;
• nootropic medications that improve brain activity.

Each group contributes to:

• dilation of blood vessels;
• reducing platelet aggregation;
• decreased blood viscosity;
• improving the plasticity of red blood cells;
• improving blood circulation in the brain.

Taking such medications has a positive effect on brain cells, which contributes to the development of resistance to hypoxia. Timely supply of glucose and oxygen only helps with this.

Vasodilators

Vasodilators mean a huge group of medications used in the treatment of circulatory problems. Their main task is to dilate blood vessels, which will lead to improved blood circulation and supply of brain cells with all substances. Stimulation of cellular metabolism and energy metabolism leads to improved brain activity.

Calcium antagonists

Vascular medications in this group, designed to improve cerebral circulation, restore blood flow, allowing oxygen-rich blood to freely enter the brain. They are widely used in heart treatment and are constantly being improved. Vascular drugs to improve cerebral circulation have been developed over three generations.

The first generation of vascular drugs includes:

• Isoptin, Finoptin;
• Phenigidine, Adalat, Corinfar, Kordafen, Cordipin;
• Diazem, Diltiazem.

The second generation of vascular drugs includes:

• Isradipin;
• Gallopamil, anipamil, falipamil;
• Norvasc, Plendil, Octidipine, Nimotop, Lacipil, Foridon;
• Clentiazem.

The third generation of vascular medications includes:

• Nimodipine;
• Cinnarizine.

The latest stage of development has more advanced characteristics:

• they have a prolonged effect;
• high selectivity of influence;
• fewer side effects;
• targeted action specifically on the vessels of the brain, without affecting the remaining vessels.

Alpha blockers

Vascular drugs of this group, intended to improve cerebral circulation, have an effect on the peripheral and central nervous system. They act as a vasodilator, hypotensive, adrenergic blocking drug that can lower blood pressure and relieve mental stress, which helps improve cerebral circulation and the activity of the brain and blood vessels. This group of vascular medications includes:

• Dihydroergotamine;
• Alfuzonin;
• Dihydroergotoxin;
• DG-Ergotoxin;
• Ditamin.

The disadvantage of such vascular drugs intended to improve cerebral circulation is their short time action, so the number of doses per day increases up to 3 times.

Antispasmodics

Medicines in this group, aimed at improving blood circulation, relax the smooth muscles of the vascular walls and expand the lumens in the vessels. Of all the medications in the vasodilator group, antispasmodics are the safest and mildest, but this does not mean that they can be taken uncontrolled, especially by older people.

This group includes:

• Drotaverine hydrochloride;
• But-shpu.

Combination drugs

The group of vascular drugs in this group, aimed at improving blood circulation, includes medications that have medicinal substances with different effects.

These include:

• Instenon - it contains etomivan, etophylline and hexobendine;
• Vasobral - it contains caffeine and alphadihydroergocriptine.

Drugs aimed at reducing blood viscosity

Vascular medications in this group, aimed at improving blood circulation, are divided into two types, anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. Drugs of two groups help improve blood flow and reduce its viscosity, which leads to improved blood circulation in the brain.

Anticoagulants

Vascular medications belonging to this group help improve microcirculation in blood vessels and reduce blood clotting. Their intake should be under the supervision of a doctor who will monitor blood counts using a biochemistry test.

Such vascular medications include:

• Heparin;
• Warfarin;
• Fragmin;
• Clexane;
• Fraxiparine.

Antiplatelet agents

Medicines of this class are aimed at reducing blood viscosity, so I prescribe them if the patient is identified as prone to micro-stroke and blood clots. If abnormalities in cerebral circulation are detected, they are prescribed only when the patient has undergone a full examination and passed all tests.

Vascular medications in this class include:

• Aspirin;
• Chime;
• ThromboASS;
• Ticlopidine;
• Aspilat.

Preparations based on nicotinic acid

Taking vascular drugs based on nicotinic acid, intended to improve blood circulation in the brain, is carried out only under the supervision of a doctor in a hospital. Such drugs have the following properties:

• have a vasodilating effect on cerebral and peripheral vessels;
• vasodilating effect on the main vessels of the brain, and have a weak vasodilating effect on small capillaries;
• reduce blood cholesterol levels;
• prevent the formation of blood clots.

The group of these medications includes:

New generation vascular drugs for the brain are in great demand, allowing to restore dysfunction of the brain vessels, restore the functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and prevent serious complications.

These medications include:

• Oxiracetam.
• Fenotropil
• Rolsiracetam.
• Cebracetam.

Despite the wide range positive properties It is strictly prohibited to prescribe such vascular drugs aimed at improving cerebral circulation on their own.

Herbal preparations

Preparations in this group are based on plant alkaloids. They are prescribed to improve conditions associated with circulatory disorders in the brain and as a preventative measure. The drug based on the ginkgo biloba and periwinkle plants is very popular.

The plant-based product is characterized as a drug that improves blood microcirculation in the brain. It is able to relieve spasm of blood vessels and strengthen their walls, thereby improving their permeability, and relieve swelling of brain tissue.

Such drugs include:

• Ginkor Fort;
• Tanakan;
• Bilobil;
• Gingium;
• Ginkum;
• Ginkgo Biloba C;
• Memory;
• Doppelgerz Ginkgo Biloba +.

It must be remembered that the simultaneous use of medications based on ginkgo biloba and a blood thinner is prohibited, so as not to cause bleeding in the brain.

The disadvantage of herbal-based drugs is the long treatment period, so the first positive results need to wait in a month.

Preparations based on periwinkle:

• Cavinton,
• Telektol,
• Vinpocetine,
• Bravinton,
• Vero-Vinpocetine.

They are characterized by the following properties:

• have an antispasmodic effect;

• stabilize the metabolism in its cells.

Homeopathic remedies

Homeopathy acts slowly, so you can't expect quick results. In addition, such drugs need to be selected by a doctor who has studied your medical history.

Drops that help improve blood circulation in the brain are:

• Edas-138;
• Cerebral.

They are prescribed for the following disorders:

• for atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels, to improve memory;
• with frequent dizziness.

Drugs intended to strengthen blood vessels

This group of drugs has the following properties:

• provide elasticity to the blood vessels of the brain;
• improves capillary permeability;
• include metabolic processes in the walls of brain vessels;
• improves blood circulation.

The listed properties are provided by various vitamins and microelements:

• Vitamin P improves capillary function. The most accessible remedy with this vitamin is Ascorutin;
• potassium, silicon, selenium, their action is very beneficial for all brain vessels. In addition to vitamins, they also contain mineral supplements;
• Dihydroquercetin is the most effective means in this group, thanks to the bioflavonoids of Siberian larch in the composition of the drug.

Medicines of this group, intended to improve blood circulation in the brain, can be taken without a doctor’s prescription, following the dosages on the manufacturer’s packaging.

Conclusion

In the pharmacy chain you can find large selection vascular drugs designed to improve blood circulation. Depending on their impact, they are divided into several groups. All drugs have both indications and contraindications, not to mention side effects, so you should not solve problems with your health on your own.

To prevent circulatory disorders in the brain, it is necessary to take medications that are part of the vasodilator group. They can not only improve blood circulation, but also thin the blood and prevent blood clots. Aspirin is considered the most popular vascular drug, but it has many limitations, so it is advisable to consult your doctor about taking it.

• Forward

IN human body blood is the main supplier of oxygen and nutrients for every cell of our body and any circulatory disorder has negative consequences. Particularly dangerous is a violation of cerebral blood supply, which can cause persistent functional disorders in the body. There are several reasons for this problem, and in each case it is necessary to carry out appropriate treatment. Modern pharmacology offers various medications that improve cerebral circulation, which are prescribed depending on the indications.

To eliminate problems with blood supply to the brain, several groups of medications are used:

• medications that prevent platelets from sticking together
• vasodilators
• drugs that regulate clotting
• nootropic drugs
• psychostimulants

Their action is aimed at:

• activation of impulse arrival in
• neutralizing free radicals that destroy vascular cells
• improving working and long-term memory
• increased concentration
• intensification of cerebral circulation
• optimization of glucose uptake by nerve cells
• restoration of brain activity and vital functions after or traumatic brain injury

Medicines to improve blood circulation in the brain contain herbal ingredients or chemical compounds. Some medications are recommended for the prevention of cerebral blood supply disorders, others are intended for treatment.

Depending on the degree of impact, certain products are recommended for use without a prescription, but most of them require a prescription from a doctor and full control of the treatment process.

Preparations based on plant extracts

To prevent and treat disorders of the blood supply to the brain, medications of natural origin are used. Due to the content of natural components, these have a minimum of contraindications and are available for sale without a doctor’s prescription.

The active constituent ingredients are alkaloids obtained from plants.

The most common preparations are based on periwinkle and gingko biloba.

When they are taken, the following occurs:

• antispasmodic effect on the walls of blood vessels
• prevention of blood clots
• improving metabolism in brain cells
• activation of blood circulation in the brain
• protection against free radicals
• reduction of swelling of brain tissue

Periwinkle extract is included in the preparations:

• Cavinton
• Telektol
• Vero-Vinpocetine
• Bravinton
• Vinpocetine

Preparations containing gingko biloba extract include:

• Memory
• Ginkum
• Ginkgo Bilobba +
• Doppelhertz
• Bilobil
• Ginkor Fort
• Tanakan

When taking such medications on your own, you should strictly adhere to the instructions and it is advisable to consult a doctor. You need to be especially careful if any other drugs are used in combination with these medications.

Fibrinolytics and anticoagulants

Fibrinolytic drugs are used to dissolve already formed or just forming blood clots in the blood vessels of the brain, which significantly facilitates blood flow. Under the influence of these agents, fibrin threads are split and the blood clot is destroyed.

Fibrinolytics are divided into two groups: direct and indirect effects. In the first case, the drug contains substances that act directly on blood clots. In the second case, taking the medication helps activate the endogenous fibrinolytic system of the blood.

In modern medical practice the following are used:

• Avelizin Brown
• Cabikinase
• Streptase
• Aktilise
• Purocin

Fibrinolytic therapy is carried out in two ways: intravenous administration of the drug or delivery of the active substance using a catheter directly to the blood clot.

It should be borne in mind that fibrinolytics have contraindications and side effects.

To maintain normal blood flow, it is very important to control blood clotting, which is ensured with the help of appropriate anticoagulants.

Their properties are:

• inhibition of the activity of blood coagulation factors
• inhibition of the appearance of fibrin threads
• stopping the growth of already formed blood clots
• enhancing the effect of endogenous fibrinolytic enzymes on blood clots

Anticoagulants used to restore cerebral circulation are divided into two groups: fast-acting and long-acting.

Among these drugs:

• Heparin
• Fluxum
• Fraxiparine
• Fragmin
• Troparin
• Refludan
• Clexane
• Fenilin
• Sinkumar
• Pelentan
• Acenocoumarol

Treatment should be carried out with strict monitoring of the state of the blood coagulation system. It is imperative to take into account existing contraindications and avoid the use of anticoagulants in case of cerebral infarction or stroke (unless there is confirmation of its ischemic nature).

Myotropic antispasmodics and antiplatelet agents

Drugs related to myotropic antispasmodics are capable of dilating blood vessels, which significantly increases cerebral circulation. These drugs are effective for spasms of cerebral vessels, however, if the patient has sclerotic processes, the benefit of their use is significantly reduced. This occurs as a result of a decrease in the ability of cerebral vessels to relax.

Taking myotropic antispasmodics can cause an intracerebral “steal” effect, because under their action only intact vessels dilate.

Thus, an uneven redistribution of blood flow is observed.

This group of drugs includes:

• Cavinton
• Papaverine
• No-shpa
• Eufillin
• Spasmol
• Nicotinic acid
• Nikoshpan
• Mydocalm
• Dibazol
• Galidor
• Andipal

These vasodilators differ in the mechanism and degree of effect on blood vessels, side effects on functional systems body and its other organs. Therefore, there are ample opportunities for individual selection of medications for each patient.

It is best to make a medication prescription based on the results of a study of cerebral vessels.

Alpha-blockers are also vasodilators.

Among them:

• Sermion
• Niceline
• Redergin
• Ditamine
• Nilogrin
• Prazosin
• Tiderin
• Daverium

The active substances are ergot alkaloids and their derivatives. The action of the drugs is aimed at blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors and eliminating the action of serotonin, which causes a vasoconstrictor effect.

Thus, as a result of taking alpha-blockers, the central mechanisms regulating vascular tone are inhibited.

Antiplatelet agents are used to prevent or treat ischemic attacks, strokes, thromboembolism, and to prevent thrombus formation.

They contribute to:

• suppression of erythrocyte and platelet aggregation
• decreased ability of blood cells to stick together
• preventing the attachment of red blood cells and platelets to the walls of blood vessels
• better penetration of red blood cells through capillaries and improved blood fluidity
• triggering the disaggregation of platelet accumulations

This group of drugs includes:

• Phlogenzyme
• Escin
• Thrombo ACC
• Trental
• Aspirin (and its derivatives)
• Ibustrin
• Chime
• Persantine
• Mellinorm
• Bilobil
• Agapurin
• Radomin

Antiplatelet agents differ in chemical composition and additional properties, have wide circle contraindications and side effects.

Calcium channel blockers

Stimulation of blood supply to the brain is ensured by taking drugs that improve blood microcirculation in the body. Preference is given to drugs that are calcium channel blockers and mostly affect blood vessels.

The principle of their action is to interrupt or weaken the process of calcium accumulation, which can provoke degradation of cell membranes, accumulation of arachidonic acid and the formation of vasoactive metabolites. Thus, under the influence of these drugs, pathological changes in the processes of cerebral metabolism and blood circulation in the ischemic zone are corrected.

Among them:

• Cordipin
• Norwax
• Cinnarizine
• Arifon
• Diacordin
• Plendi
• Stugeron
• Lacipil
• Brainal
• Logimax

The drugs differ in composition and have individual spectrums of action. The prescription of calcium channel blockers is done both for the treatment of acute stages of pathologies of cerebral circulation, and at the stage of the chronic course of the disease.

Nootropic drugs

Nootropics are compounds that stimulate metabolic processes in the brain. The mechanism of their effect on the body has not been fully studied, but their mediator and metabolic influence has been precisely established.

The results of taking nootropics are:

• memory improvement;
• increase in intellectual functions
• increasing the brain's resistance to prolonged oxygen starvation
• reduction in the manifestation of neurological disorders
• increasing human performance
• recovery after stroke, brain injury

This is explained by the possibility of such drugs:

• stimulate metabolic processes in cells nerve fibers
• improve bioenergetic and plastic metabolism in nerve tissues
• protect brain cells from hypoxia
• activate the utilization of glucose by brain cells
• stimulate the biosynthesis of adenosine triphosphoric acid, proteins, phospholipids, ribonucleic acid
• stimulate the transmission of excitation in neurons of the central nervous system
• protect the brain from adverse influences (stress, extreme temperatures)
• activate reparative processes

This group of cerebral circulation correctors includes:

• Piracetam
• Glycine
• Pyritinol
• Nootropil
• Cerebrolysin
• Fezam

Nootropics can be prescribed both to obtain a therapeutic result and for preventive purposes. It should be borne in mind that the nootropic effect occurs gradually.

Use of drugs to correct cerebral circulation

The list of drugs that help improve, activate and restore blood supply to the brain is extremely wide. They have significant differences in the principle of action, and, if possible, used as part of complex therapy, and in the presence of contraindications. This provides great opportunities to provide individual approach to the patient when prescribing appropriate treatment. At the same time, one cannot ignore the cause of the problem with blood flow in the brain.

For cervical osteochondrosis

One of the most common diseases that causes disruption of the blood supply to the brain is cervical osteochondrosis. With its development, swelling, inflammation and damage to the tissues and nerve fibers located around the intervertebral joints occur. This weakens the impulses entering the blood vessels, causes them to spasm, disrupts the blood supply to the brain, and creates stagnation in the bloodstream.

In this case, the therapeutic effect is achieved through the use of vasodilators.

As a result of the action of the drugs:

• the tone of the smooth muscles of the damaged walls of blood vessels decreases, which allows them to increase their lumen
• improves blood microcirculation in the area affected by osteochondrosis
• the transmission of nerve impulses is normalized

The condition of the muscles of the vascular walls is regulated thanks to nerve impulses passing along the nerve fibers.

Their work is influenced in two ways:

• weakening of the nerve impulse
• influence directly on the muscles of blood vessels

Most often, for cervical osteochondrosis, doctors recommend:

• Euffiline
• Pentoxifylline
• Xanthinol nicotinate
• Berlition
• Actovegin
• Piracetam
• Vinpocetine

A properly selected drug normalizes blood flow, helps restore metabolic processes, and improves the supply of oxygen to the brain. It is often recommended to supplement drug therapy with therapeutic exercises, massage, and treat concomitant diseases.

In children and elderly patients

It is very important to correctly correct cerebral circulation at different transition stages human life. The use of blood flow correctors is possible at any age. The difference lies in the duration and frequency of drug courses.

IN childhood blood vessels are elastic and do not have atherosclerotic plaques, so problems with blood supply to the brain are rare and are associated with:

• birth injuries
• congenital anomalies
• blood diseases
• traumatic brain injuries
• hormonal changes

In this case, appropriate drugs of a milder effect are prescribed, including:

• Pantogam
• Cerebrolysin
• Phenibut
• Actovegin

Often, drugs to stimulate blood flow to the brain are prescribed to children during periods of increased intellectual stress. As a rule, these are nootropic drugs that activate metabolic processes in the brain. However, experts note that they do not have any effect on healthy tissue, so taking such medications is necessary only in the presence of corresponding pathologies.

It is more justified to prescribe nootropics in old age when memory, thinking or attention deteriorate. This condition occurs as a result of chronic oxygen starvation and the development of systemic pathologies of the circulatory system. Preference is given to drugs with complex action.

Also in old age, the need for cerebral blood flow correctors appears when:

• stroke
• atherosclerosis
• brain tumors
• acute thrombosis of cerebral arteries

When choosing a medicine to improve cerebral circulation, you should take into account that at the moment There is no substance that has a selective effect only on cerebral blood vessels. Therefore, it is preferable to take drugs aimed at stimulating the regulation of blood supply to the brain by the body itself.

On at this stage In the development of modern medicine, close attention is paid to the problem of treating blood flow disorders in the brain, however, it is still far from an optimal solution. Despite the existence of a wide list of already registered drugs, clinical and pharmacological searches for new, more effective drugs continue.

Only qualified specialist, which should make the appointment. It would be wiser for patients to engage in timely prevention of cerebrovascular accidents and follow the doctor’s recommendations, which will help prolong life and significantly improve its quality.

Impaired blood flow can occur at any age. Therefore, there are various drugs to improve cerebral circulation, which are recommended not only for people over fifty years old, but also for very young patients.

Signs of poor circulation

Needless to say, memory loss is the most obvious symptom of cerebrovascular accident, and medications that will help eliminate this problem should be taken at the first manifestations of the pathology. In this case, any medications should be taken only after a thorough examination. Today there are no drugs that would act only on the blood circulation of the brain, but there are still those that minimally affect the functioning of the general blood circulation. However, their use is possible only after the recommendations of a specialist.

Thanks to medicines The following changes occur in cerebral circulation:

• strengthening the impulse in the nerves;
• removing free radicals that can destroy cell walls;
• improving attention and memory;
• improving blood supply to the brain;
• better absorption and penetration of glucose into nerve cells;
• recovery from injuries and.

What drugs improve cerebral circulation?

Preparations for cerebral circulation can be based on medicinal herbs or have exclusively chemical composition. At the same time, a number of medications can be taken without a doctor’s prescription, while others can be taken exclusively on the recommendation of specialists and under their scrupulous supervision.

The main medications for improving cerebral circulation include the following:

• Glycine;
• Bilobil;
• Aminolon;
• Pantogam (hopantenic acid);
• Aspirin.

These medications can be taken without a prescription, but the following should be discussed with your doctor:

• Phenotropil;
• Encephabol;
• Picamelon;
• Phenibut;
• Actovegin;
• Eastenon.

Preparations based on the alkaloid of the periwinkle plant, for example, Vinpocetine, give good results. It has an antispasmodic effect and effectively dilates the blood vessels of the brain, and also improves microcirculation in the vessels.

The best medicine for cerebral circulation, which least of all affects the main blood flow and acts only on the brain, can be called Nimodilin and Cinnarizine.

It is worth paying attention to such means that help improve peripheral blood supply:

• xanthinol nicotinate;
• nicergoline;
• derivatives of gamma-aminobutyric acid.

Preparations for prevention

Equally important are preventive measures that will help maintain mental activity for as long as possible and delay problems associated with impaired blood circulation in the brain. These means include:

• acetylsalicylic acid;
• anticoagulants;
• ticlopidine;
• pentoxifylline.

A drug such as Phezam, which has good reviews, has nootropic, antihypoxic, vasodilating effect.
