Properties

A remedy for the treatment of dementia. It is a non-competitive antagonist of glutamate NMDA receptors (including in the substantia nigra), as a result, it reduces the excessive stimulating effect of cortical glutamate neurons on the neostriatum, which develops against the background of insufficient release of dopamine. By reducing the flow of Ca2+ into neurons, it reduces the possibility of their destruction. It has a nootropic, cerebrovasodilating, antihypoxic and psychostimulating effect.

Improves impaired memory, increases the ability to concentrate, reduces fatigue and symptoms of depression, reduces spasticity of skeletal muscles caused by diseases or brain damage.
