In such cases it is necessary to understand the existing problem and find its source. It is possible that normalizing sleep, work and rest regime, feasible physical activities, food quality and psycho-emotional atmosphere at home and at school, will not resort to using medicines. But, it happens that the deterioration of the child's condition, including his memory, has gone so far that without medication therapy it will not be possible to solve the problem.

It is known that not all drugs suitable for improving attention, memory and performance of adults should be used by children. Most drugs can cause irreparable harm to the health of the baby, so it is strongly recommended not to engage in self-medication and "stuff" the child with "proven" means.

Drugs that improve memory in adults

There are differences in patients of different groups in the above points (dosage and duration of treatment). Usually, the prescribed dose of medication is more sparing for elderly patients, and the duration of treatment is much longer, including the maintenance dose of the drug during the recovery period after exacerbation of the problem.
