Tablets for brain activity and memory. What is better to choose, without prescription to adults, adolescents and children

When choosing a tablet to improve brain activity it is important to know that not all of neurotropic drugs are suitable only for memory and better memorization. In the testimony of each of them are the recommendations for use, expanding the scope of the impact and scope.

The classification of drugs to the brain

Tablets memory

This term defines all the preparations of traditional medicine, to improve cognitive functions of the brain. First of all, it's all nootropics, as well as vegetable Organotropona funds origin (biloba Intellan) neyrotropy (Glycine, Aminalon), antiplatelet and vasodilatory drugs.

nootropics

Nootropics - a group of drugs, psychostimulants related to, but not providing postterapevticheskogo exhaustion and agitation.

It has an impact on the higher mental activities related to:

• perception of intensity information;
• processing and analysis rate;
• degree of memorization and reproduction;
• agreed action to execute actions.

Progressively acts such preparation and has a cumulative effect. No addictive and the occurrence of severe side effects in the body.

The principle of operation is to strengthen the metabolic processes in neurons and stimulating energy metabolism even under hypoxic conditions.

In general, increasing the level of mental functioning is achieved by:

• Enhanced power generation due to anoxic ATP synthesis;
• lowering the level of neuronal free radicals and oxygen demand, thereby increasing the cell resistance to oxygen deficiency;
• increased intensity transsynaptic transfer to neurons that is caused by activation of enzyme synthesis atsetilattsiklazy. By cascading transforms enzymes in the chain reactions leads to increased flux of calcium and potassium ions across the synaptic cleft, and as a consequence - the release of a mediator;
• improved glucose metabolism, especially in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum;
• stabilization of functional and structural properties of the cell membranes of the CNS.

Drugs that improve blood circulation

This category includes funds directly or indirectly affecting the intensity and speed of blood flow and the different mechanisms of action.

They are as follows:

• Antagonism to calcium ions. The expansion of the vascular lumen due to the effect on calcium channels. As a result, blocking the last normal blood flow to the brain, the saturation of oxygen and nutrients. Representatives of the group - amlodipine, verapamil, Kordafen.
• Anticoagulation. Prevent platelet aggregation, and as a consequence reduce blood clotting. This contributes to its dilution and increase the yield of large and small vessels and capillaries resistance. Drugs with this type of exposure to a lot of Aspirin, tromboASS; clopidogrel; fraxiparine; Chimes.
• Relaxation vessel walls. Drugs such as No-spa, Drotaverinum hydrochloride exert antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle, which leads to improved blood macrocirculation and its flow to the tissues and organs due to increased clearance vessels. The main application of direct antispasmodic - the bile ducts, the digestive and urogenital tracts. Effective and headaches, if the cause is an exceptionally vasospasms.
• shielding adrenoretseptov. Block the binding of neurotransmitters and agonists with alpha-adrenergic receptors. Consequently vasoconstrictor pulse to arterioles and capillaries is received, their lumen extends. Drugs such as Nicergoline, Sermion particularly effective with hypertension, complications caused by atherosclerosis and embolism transmittorny vessels and in addition a number of other functions performed: increase the flow and glucose uptake in the brain tissue brain; protein and enhances the biosynthesis of nucleic acids; It has a positive effect with cognitive disorders and dementia.
  
• On the basis of vitamin PP (a nicotinic acid). The therapeutic effect is not only directed at expanding the walls of capillaries, but also reduction of blood lipids. Pronounced lipid-lowering effect have drugs such as acipimox, Enduratin, nikoshpan.

stimulants of the nervous activity

This category includes drugs that stimulate the activity of the nerve centers of the brain and spinal cord. They affect the psychomotor coordination in general, increasing the efficiency of both mental and physical.

All reflex functions related to higher nervous activity are faster and more articulately, especially in the course of depressive and asthenic diseases.

distinguished:

• analeptic agents - affect the vital parts of self-regulation in the medulla oblongata (respiratory, vasomotor). They differ according to the principle of action: directly affect biosubstrates (etimizol) and through the afferent end of the reflex zones, differ in their localization (Simptol);
• psychostimulant - by influencing the production of neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin) improve psycho-emotional state regardless of external irritants. Increase body energy expenditure, increase blood pressure and heart rate;
• antidepressants - drugs prescribed for the treatment of severe forms of depression, which is accompanied by prolonged apathy, irritability, lack of energy. The action of such means is directed to regulating the concentration of neurotransmitters - serotonin, dopamine, involved in the transmission of nerve impulse;
• adaptogens - plant and animal (Pantocrinum, apilak) origin, improve adaptability of the organism under conditions different from usual medium;
• spinal cord stimulators - improve reflex activity in the conditions of cardiac insufficiency, paresis, paralysis.

vitamins

They are an important component of any therapy, because without them all and synthetic biochemical processes in the body are less productive. The following table shows all possible vitamins, whose action tablets for brain activity and memory aimed not only at improving memory, but also the level of mental activity whole.

Amino acids

For structural and functional usefulness of the body requires regular replenishment proteinogenic amino acids to build proteins.

There are 8 essential and 12 essential amino acids, which can be obtained from food or dosed in preparations:

• Amviks - reduces the fatigue of the body, increases efficiency. It provides resistance to toxins and stimulates brain activity. It contains valine, arginine and 4 amino acids.

complex preparations

Tablets for brain activity and memory, which include several active substances with different exposure factors. Instrumental in the treatment of diseases with a complex pathogenesis associated with impaired circulation and blood flow to organs and tissues of the central nervous system.

Preparations categories:

1. Vazobral. It consists of a derivative of ergot - dihydroergocriptine, and caffeine. The action of the first component is aimed at reducing platelet adhesion and normalization of vascular tone by acting on the walls adrenoreceptors while the second component increases the higher mental activity, it has an effect on the respiratory centers of the brain and vasoconstrictor brain.
2. instenon. It includes three main components, providing a one-time comprehensive action on a variety of factors of ischemic and hypoxic tissue damage: etamivan - restores the activity of the neural systems of the cortex and subcortical structures in ischemic stroke, cerebral insufficiency posthypoxic brain; etofillin - it stimulates the metabolic processes in myocardium cells, thereby increasing blood volume per minute. This contributes to a reduction of ischemic damage foci. Hexobendine degidrohlorid - activates anaerobic oxidative processes, in consequence of which the synthesis is restored and the transmission of neurotransmitters transmitters under hypoxic conditions.
