Indications Cerepro
Pharmacodynamics
Cerepro is a centrally acting cholinomimetic, it contains about 40.5% of metabolically protected choline. Due to this, this substance exerts its effect precisely in the brain. When the drug enters the patient's body, it begins to interact with enzymes, after which it breaks down into glycerophosphate and pure choline. Choline takes part in the biological synthesis of acetylcholine, and glycerophosphate normalizes phospholipid structures that are located in the neuronal membrane.
Thanks to this product, phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine are synthesized in the body, which help improve blood flow and enhance metabolic processes in the central nervous system, linear blood flow increases on the side of the brain that was affected. Patients experience improved behavioral response, and spatial-temporal characteristics are normalized. The product effectively improves the main functions of the brain.

After the patient has taken the drug, its absorption is about 88%. It penetrates the blood-brain barrier quite easily. In the brain, the concentration of the active component is 45%. The lungs remove about 85% of the substance, the rest is excreted through feces and urine.
Dosing and administration
