Tablets for Memory

Memory is one of the higher functions of the brain, which is influenced from outside. The main varieties of this integrative brain activity are immediate, short-term (part of the operational) and long-term memory. Memory disorders can occur both in cases of vascular pathologies in conditions of chronic oxygen starvation of the cortex, and in bacterial or viral infections, parasitic infestations, under the influence of anesthesia, hypnotics, with various intoxications, including nakrokoticheskih, alcohol and tobacco. Separately there are traumatic brain injuries, tumors and epilepsy, in which memory is disturbed significantly. Memory loss can concern both events that occurred before a certain moment (trauma), and capture the present period of time. There is also a violation, in which there is a good memory for the old facts, and the fallout concerns fresh information (this type is typical for vascular dementia in the elderly). Often, memory impairments are of a non-structured nature and relate to the difficulties of memorization.

There are electoral defects. For example, the inability to memorize dates or persons. Such deviations are hardly noticeable to others, but they can bring a lot of inconveniences in everyday life to those who suffer from them.

Since there is a wide range of diseases and functional conditions for memory disorders, it makes sense to consult a doctor in all cases when memory disorders are fixed by the patient himself or his relatives. This will make it possible to understand in due time the true causes of what is happening and not to miss the conditions that threaten not only complete loss of memory, but also life.

To diagnose memory disorders, patients undergo special testing from a neurologist or psychiatrist.

Tablets used to treat memory disorders, the so-called, mnemotropic drugs.

1. Cholinesterase blockers. Donezyl hydrochloride (aricept), galantamine (dilated), rivastigmine (exelon). Drugs interfere with the cleavage of acetylcholine, which facilitates the transmission of a nerve impulse in the brain cells, improves memory.

2. Pyrrolidine derivatives or ratsetamy: phenylpyrazetam (phenotropil), pyracetam (nootropil, lucetam, vinpocetin, oikamid, pyrabene), aloracetam, brivaracetam, aniracetam (draganol), dupracetam, dorracetam, dimiracetam, imaracetam, nebrasetam, noopept, nefiracetam, fazoracetam, pramiracetam, rolziratsetam, rolipram, seletracetam. Activates glutamate receptors that are adjacent to acetylcholine and potentiate their action.

3. Derivatives of precursors of acetylcholine (dimethylaminoethanol) -aclumate deanol (noctolin, clerel, deanol), meclofenoxate (anilux, lucidryl, cerutil, acephene). Increase the content of acetylcholine, responsible for improving nerve conduction.

4. Vitamins of group B. Pyridoxine derivatives (pyrithinol, encephabol, energy, pyriditol). Thiamin (B1) potentiates memory, smooths out the effects of anesthesia. Niacin, nicotinic acid (B3) increases the efficiency of the brain. Cyanocobalamin (B12) improves neuromuscular transmission, prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease (milgamma).

5. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (aminalon), its derivatives and analogues: gamma-amine-beta-phenylbutyric acid hydrochloride (phenibut), nicotinoyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid (picamylon), gapontenic acid (pantocalcin, pantogam). It provides removal of unnecessary excitation in the brain, increases the resistance of neurocytes to hypoxia, regulates the transportation and utilization of sugar, enhances protein synthesis, acting as a protector for cells.

6. Neuropeptides with analogues: semax, vasopressin, selank, oxytocin, tiroliberin, noopept. Memories are influenced by individual parts of the molecules of neuropeptides, changing the postsynaptic effect of acetylcholine and increasing the activation of nerve cells.

7. Cerebrovascular drugs (tanakan).

8. Amino acids: biotreidine, glycine, glutamic acid, picamilon, gopantenic acid. Mediators that excite the central nervous system.

9. Polypeptides: cerebrolysin, cortexin, celebrex, cerebramine. These are chains of amino acids that work similarly to them. Simultaneously improve the blood supply to the brain.

10. Antioxidants: vitamin C (ascorbic acid), alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin C), mexidol (oxymethylethylpyridine succinate). Decrease the level of lipid peroxidation, stabilize the membranes of neurocytes.

11. Adamantane derivatives: mefexamid (timodine, perineuron, mefexadin), adamantin bromophenylamine (memantine, inertast, bromantine), adrafine (olimpone), tonibral, ciprodenate (actebral), bifimelan, pyrisudanol (mentis, nanox), deminol, linopyridine. These drugs increase the content of choline in the brain (in synapses), accelerating the transmission of the nerve impulse, the synthesis of phospholipids in the brain. Also, under the influence of drugs, the content of lipofuscin, which is the pigment of aging, decreases in the brain cells.

12. Combined preparations. Combine the mnemotropic properties of its components. Melatonin-apic (pyridoxine plus melatonin), inotropin (melatonin plus aminalon), pituitary (aminalon plus pyracetam), fesam (cinnarizine plus pyracetam), orocetam (oric acid plus pyracetam), thiocetam (tiotriazoline plus pyracetam).

The drugs of the above groups should be prescribed according to strict indications after a detailed examination by a specialist.

To date, a huge number of different studies have been conducted, during which it has been proved that the mnemotropic medications do not affect the healthy brain so that the memory improves significantly. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the drugs of this group for students and students, as well as adult able-bodied population, in order to increase the concentration of attention and increase the assimilation of new material without the presence of neurological deficit symptoms.

Medications are appropriate during recovery from cerebral hemorrhages, craniocerebral trauma, in the treatment of chronic cerebrovascular disorders and Alzheimer's disease, and other senile dementias.
