Nootropic action

 

Improves the higher functions of the brain, learning and memory processes, concentration of attention, stability under various stresses.

 

Neuroprotective action

 

Protects neurons from damage by various endogenous neurotoxic factors (glutamate, calcium ions, free radicals), reduces the toxic effects of psychotropic substances.

 

Antioxidant action

 

It inhibits lipid peroxidation in neurons, increases the survival of neurons in conditions of oxidative stress and hypoxia.

 

Tissue-specific effect

 

It activates the metabolism of neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system, reparative processes, contributes to the improvement of the functions of the cerebral cortex and the general tone of the nervous system.

 

Pharmacokinetics

Now I will share my grief and warning to all the parents of small children. It so happened that for the last several years we have been studying at a school for mentally retarded children, since they did not heed the advice of doctors that they should treat a child while they are young. After all, your child is the best. Let somewhere his speech disappears, somewhere does not fulfill everything that you say to him, not because he does not want, but because he can not.And so they brought to such a state when they radically had to be treated.

Now kolem Cortexin courses, along with Actovegin. As long as you scratch, you may experience drowsiness and other side effects, but this is nonsense compared to the fact that after the course of treatment the child becomes more active, begins to think better and talk. like vitamins for the brain, gives this complex treatment.

So advice to parents of small children - listen to doctors and watch your child carefully so that it's not too late.

Leila, Any problems with children's health try to solve through the doctor. In your case, contact a pediatrician, and preferably a neurologist who is familiar with children's issues. Independently to prick Кортексин or other preparation I do not advise you.

P.S. In my childhood, I also memorized subjects for a long time, as now I understand it was a banal laziness. They did not prick anything, but my parents took me to the doctor, for which I am grateful to them.

ninochka, You have been taking drugs for a long time, so the question of replacing one of the nootropics with another should be decided by your doctor. In absentia here it will be difficult to help.

As far as I know, neurologists practice joint courses of taking Cortexin and Encephalbol, but again the dosage and reception schedules in complex cases are solved only by the doctor internally.

Cortexin is a good nootropic drug, but it is necessary to take all medications comprehensively, taking into account the diagnosis - multiple sclerosis.So if this drug is prescribed to you by the doctor, I have nothing against it. Whether there will be a positive dynamics - here already to you any doctor will not tell or say for certain, but only can assume.

At me such situation to me on purpose of the doctor once in 6 months pricked a cortex and last time has got on 1-2 weeks of pregnancy, I certainly did not know about it, doctors speak nothing as many such preparation do not know, in the instruction the contra-indication is written, it would be desirable could find out if there were already cases of pregnancy and how it ended, how could this affect?

viburnumIn your situation it is worth to calm down. Any contraindication (except absolute) is the probability that the drug can do harm. You should tell the doctor who will lead your pregnancy to tell about the use of Cortexin at the time of pregnancy, so that the doctors know and take a closer look at your condition and intrauterine development of the baby.

Have registered the child with injections of cortexin. Advise when it is better to stab - in the morning or in the evening, during school hours or on vacation?
Administrators
admin
Vladimir, Such drugs as Cortexin better to stab in the morning, since it can exert an exciting effect on the nervous system. Therefore, if you take the drug in the evening, the child can not fall asleep for a long time. Although the reactions to any medicine are strictly individual, I am now talking about the majority of reactions.

On vacation or immediately - colitis after the appointment, do not wait for treatment that can help. If there are any non-standard reactions to injections of Cortexin, leave the child for a couple of days at home.

You probably had a doctor with two children, so the doctor did not consider it necessary to prescribe the drug Cortexin, so why do you need to think it makes sense to give the medicine to the second child, even if the twin or not.

In general, any nootropics (to which Cortexin refers) is used in combination therapy, so it is certainly impossible to tell exactly what helped this drug. Still it is necessary to write a disease from which you were prescribed a drug, an indication of what the neurosurgeon appointed was not informative.

Good day, I have a question, my father 62 years about 20 years ago had a stroke I want to pierce him "Cortexin" for prevention, is it worth it ?! We have been on a life-long 1 group of disability since 2005 and since then he has refused to go to doctors for a detour, there is simply nowhere to consult a doctor at present, there are no worsening in his condition, but also improvements. Judging by the evidence, this drug is suitable for us.

Administrators
admin
ladycat777, I am against such appointments. The drugs have a clear list of the diagnosis for the treatment of which they are used. There are patients who should be on constant dynamic observation with doctors, on dispensary records. Stroke such a disease is.

If a person under 62 has suffered a stroke and refuses to go to doctors, he shortens his life even faster than the disease. And why is Cortexin, and not Emoxipine or other drugs that can potentially be used for stroke. I think neither your father nor you are experts in the use of drugs, so I always dissuade patients from self-treatment, it's not ARVI.

ale, Yes, all drugs are combined. More precisely, in their interaction, no mutual side effects were observed.

Katyushka, Stick is worth the instructions. I understand why you so appointed a doctor: "Forms in the form of ampoules less than 5 ml is not, so I will appoint a 1 ampoule." Although I think it will not be difficult to get half the dose. Maybe, of course, your case is difficult, so the doctor purposefully prescribed a double dose, in general, there is much to be asked about the appointment of the doctor who prescribed the treatment.

Good afternoon! We have a problem. Child 4 years 10 months of diagnosis symptomatic epilepsy + delayed speech development (seizures were 1 every 2 years - take convulex in syrup (anticonvulsant drug)). We are prescribed treatment for taking pantogam in tablets according to the scheme (for an increase) + lecithin + Leonurus + cortexin from the second week of treatment. The first week we treated the pantogam, but when the time came to cortexin - the child fell ill with acute respiratory disease (there is no temperature), but there are doubts whether it is possible to continue treatment. It seems to me to interrupt there is no sense, because the first week has passed, and there is no temperature?

1. How does the action of cortexin differ from the action of nootropil?
2. What is the pharmaco-chemical effect of cortexin and nootropil. There are differences, what are they?
3. Why are severe headaches seen after taking cortexin? When taking nootropil pain is never.
Administrators
admin
Victor Zagoskin, Nootropil and Cortexin are different in composition preparations. They are united only by action and pharmacological group (nootropics) and this group is rather big. Therefore, doctors select the optimal schemes for a particular person. The pharmacological action of drugs of the nootropic group is often not studied, since there is no substratum for the study (these are not standardized chemical molecules). Take Nootropil, Cortexin you most likely does not go (if the connection with the problems and reception of the drug is clearly traced), although this is extremely rare.

My daughter is 14 years old, MRI hydrocephalus is mixed, the neurologist prescribed Cortexin 10 mg, vinpocetine 5 mg and Papotam, tell me whether the appointment is correct? And another neurologist instead of Pantogam appointed Actovegin, what is better for us for our conclusion on MRI?
Administrators
admin
natalia, Treatment is sparing for your child. According to your scheme, if you choose between Pantogam and Actovegin, I would choose Pantogam, since Actovegin with some assumption will duplicate Vinpocetin's function in the mechanism of action.So take the drugs according to the first scheme recommended by your doctor.

Good afternoon. We were born 6.5.2014 years.
They did the uzi of the head and said that there is a small cyst (as I then the doctor explained that the wreath broke because of hypoxia in the fetus) and they prescribed injections of cortexin. But they did not explain to me why and why. Explain please how these injections can help to "resolve" the cyst ???
Administrators
admin
AlyonaThe child's brain is not the brain of an adult, it grows and develops and a small cyst may well be that will close itself. Cortexin as a nootropic drug having a relationship to the brain can help this process by accelerating the metabolism and protecting the neurons of the brain. In addition, this drug is allowed for young children.

The action and pharmacokinetics of this drug are not fully understood, but the choice is not rich, so follow the physician's doctor's introductions and are more confident that conservative therapy will save your child from this problem, without surgical intervention. You can consider this to be more of a medical magic.

Our child is 6.5 years old, this year we are going to take him to school. Problems with intelligence, speech, development there, but there is increased hyperactivity. It can not hold attention for a long time on learning, fussy, restless, excessively agile. The doctor prescribed a course of cortexin, without any additional drugs in the complex. We started to stab, the results are not yet visible. What other recommendations can there be?
Administrators
admin
Alla, Nothing yet. It is necessary to complete the full course of treatment, since this is not a cold, there can not be quick decisions. At the end it is necessary to look at the result and it will be clear whether it is worth repeating the course of taking Cortexin or adding other more serious drugs (you would not want the child to immediately switch to heavy drugs).

Alsou, Treatment is sparing enough - specially chosen for the child., Complex. The dosages are correct. Cortexin is most likely to be used by you in the form of one and a half ampoules of 5 mg solution, then 7.5 mg is released to your weight of 15 kilograms.

As for efficiency, you can not say anything in advance. We can assume that the positive effect of complex treatment should be, but whether there will be a full recovery - so to speak it is impossible. Begin the treatment and the dynamics will be clear.

RuslanBoth drugs are nootropics. The difference is in the composition, that is, they are not direct analogues of the active substance to each other. Which to choose?

Hello! To my daughter 3 months. Hypoxia, hypertonia. The neurologist has appointed or nominated korteksin 10 mg with novokainom motivating that the given preparation "works" only in greater or big doses. I did not listen, three days were put on 5 mg at noon. Three days of problems with evening stays, the child twitches like from the eltok, sobbing. Rushed to the doctor.

Administrators

Olga, I can reply only with the words of the instruction: For children with body weight less than 20 kg, the drug is administered at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg of body weight, for children with a body weight of more than 20 kg - at a dose of 10 mg per day for 10 days.

Usually the dosage is observed, although there are exceptions, but it is unlikely in your case. Perhaps you should get advice from another neurologist.

This pimping in young children is sometimes caused by the fact of the injection (painful and unpleasant), and the disease itself does not need to be discounted, so the doctor must understand the situation observed by the child.

If the structure of the brain is normal, the blood circulation is normal, then it may be worthwhile to show the child's psychologist, and we immediately have pills, injections, look and leave leave, and not my problem will be (standard thoughts of grief doctors in our country). Look for an adequate pediatric neurologist.

Ayslu, In the instruction to this effect, a clear indication: For children with a body weight of less than 20 kg, the drug is administered at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg body weight. In your case this is 14 * 0.5 = 7 mg.Where did 10 mg come from, I do not understand, second-grade mathematics.

MariaThe administration of Cortexin is not an excuse for physical activity. Another thing is that such restrictions can arise because of the diagnosis (judging by the purpose of the neurological profile) for the treatment of which this drug is prescribed. So find out the mode of exercise from your doctor.

Hello! The grandchildren were prescribed cortexin for 10 days, the injections were stabbed by a relative, we did not control it, but she diluted 5 ml and chopped half of the solution today, and the second half - tomorrow, i.e. from 10 injections the grandson received 5 times a solution, prepared yesterday - a day ago. Did this decrease the therapeutic effect? Thank you in advance. Regards, Anna

Help, please, advice. My father is 91 years old. Every spring and autumn I pierce cortexin, but now the question is which dosage to take: 5 or 10, he has Parkinson's disease and the pressure towards evening almost every day falls 70/40, maybe 65/32, the pulse at this time is about 55 -60. It may be enough 5 mg, will not 10 provoke deterioration?

Anna45If there were no side effects, especially at the injection site, then everything is fine. Yesterday's solutions are dangerous for their abscesses and other complications.

LyudmilaWith such low pressure and probably a heap of additional diseases your dad needs an internal doctor, not an online consultation. I do not take this responsibility on myself.

The drug Cortexin does not affect the pressure, if it is not a developing vascular reaction due to an allergy (but usually it happens quickly after the start of treatment), then the blood pressure may drop and this is already a threatening condition.

Hello. I was diagnosed with "dementia". The consequences are, of course, you imagine. I still have embolism and thrombosis of the lower extremities, glaucoma. The doctor told me that it would be nice to pierce the cortex, without going into my condition. Can I pierce it? Thank you.

MukaramaThere should be a comprehensive treatment, depending on the cause of the disease. Most likely, in your case, these are vascular causes. That the doctor was going to treat with one appointment of Cortexin - I do not understand. You need a set of measures and concomitant diagnoses, you probably have not indicated everything, but there are many more. Therefore, look for an adequate doctor, and be like a lot of consultants who will answer - do it, it will not be worse, I will not. This is not a medical approach.

Hello! To the kid 1 month, uzi gol.mozga has shown an ischemia, we drink stugeron, but the kid very restless and badly sleeps, the neurologist has registered cortexin. Tell me, please, whether it is worth it to prick and will it help him in case of anxiety? In advance thanks for the answer.
Administrators

Kate, Cortexin with anxiety - can help. Whether he will help your child - I can not know. With neurology for children, everything is difficult, you can only go busting. The main thing is that children are not prescribed drugs that are prohibited at their age. In this regard, Cortexin is allowed to children.So try, it should not be worse. Perhaps with Stugeron, the effect of both drugs will intensify.

My son was born 33 years ago with such a diagnosis that you will not utter all the "encephalopathy, ..... with hyperkinesia ....". Unfortunately, they began to heal after the birth (they lived in the village), suffered a whole year - practically did not sleep, kept shouting until they lost consciousness, they ate badly and lagged behind in all respects, and then they got to a good doctor, did all his appointments - now I by heart I know half a hundred medicines, their action, massage and much more. Every minute I was engaged with the child and so many years! Very hard studying! But God thanked me for all my sufferings. By the 7th grade I was an excellent student (I could not hold a pen in class 1), graduated with a medal from the school, military institute, and Putin awarded him the medal for the end of the military academy in the Kremlin. We consider that these medals are half mine. Mommy, do not let go of your hands, do not despair! Treat the children! And all will be well!

Cortexin in glaucoma must be done with parabulbar
injections or can you intramuscularly? The effect is different?
Administrators

Savchenko, First time I hear about this method of treatment of glaucoma. Perform injections as recommended by an ophthalmologist. From the method of administration of the drug in the body can change a lot. Especially when it comes to the eyes.

Good evening! Please tell me the child walks on tiptoes, orthopedic sent to neurologists, came to the examination at the hospital, at the receiver without inspection appointed Cortexin, the child mentally very developed, it is only a "socks". Very much I worry, whether this preparation is necessary without the concrete diagnosis.

ALYONAThe prescription of a medicine without examination is not an appointment. You just waved it off. Find a normal neurologist, and perhaps an orthopedist, the child may have some soreness on the heels, structural changes, tendons.There must be some reason.

Has addressed to the neurologist in occasion of shooting-pricking pains of high intensity in the left part of a head (pains of a wandering character: that in a temporal, in an occipital part). I am 45 years old. She said that this is a manifestation of migraine on the background of stress. Its purpose: cortexin 10 ml N 10, mlgam 2 ml N 10 intramuscularly and stugerone tablets 1x3 times a day. Is it possible to take everything at once or better not to combine? Are these drugs quick-witted? Or take on the background of this something like a Nise-non-molex with severe pain?

Tatyana, And what algorithm was - the head was ill, went to the neurologist? And the pressure was checked, because 80% of the headaches are not mythical migraines, but hypertension. If the pressure is all right - then yes, to the neurologist.

The course of treatment is normal, only Cortexin in it is just superfluous, but if there is money - you can add it, it will not be worse. Evaluate the effectiveness and reduce the intensity of headaches can only be after the entire course of treatment, this is not a short-term funds.By the way, if there was stress, then where the treatment regimen is soothing, the neurologist could just prescribe the drugs of this group, and they are mostly on prescription.

And Nize-nimex helps? Then still it would be possible and a picture of the cervicothoracic spine to make, perhaps, some changes and there could already be, the age allows.

Hello! My mother was at a reception with a neurologist, her hands are trembling and her chin starts to shake. The doctor prescribed injections of Cortexin and Mexidol. Is the treatment right?
Administrators

Rosalia, In order to understand the adequacy of the appointment - you need a diagnosis, and so the data at all did not. Often, drugs are prescribed empirically to test their effectiveness for a particular patient and to a specific medicine. If the drugs are prescribed by a doctor, then take and then with the same doctor evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. It is possible to take such a regimen of drugs, there should not be any side effects during joint admission.

Good afternoon. To the child of 5 months. The neurologist appointed 20 injections of cortexin. The pediatrician said that after 10 injections we will have a rest, then we will continue. Should I make a vacation?

Irina, I do not see any need to take breaks, you specialist neurologist appointed a course of treatment with the drug, why should it be canceled because of the reinsurer pediatrician. If he believes that a break is needed, then there should be a rationale for this step (for example, an evaluation of the effectiveness - why it can not be done during treatment and understand it is necessary to continue treatment or even change the therapy scheme).

I have a question. To the son of 11 years of 32 kg of weight. How much does he need to prick the cortex for prophylaxis. Can not cope with the school curriculum. 3 years ago, the prick was very pleased with the result. Now I want to repeat it. She still has a daughter for 7 years? weighs 17,400 her dose of 5 mg? It lags behind in development. Does not read. He does not believe and can not sit in one place for long. Now we go to the first class.

AlexandraAnd what's the question? If you do not want to go to the dosage and to the doctor, then I can only quote the following: "For children weighing less than 20 kg, the drug is administered at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg of body weight, with children weighing more than 20 kg - at a dose of 10 mg per day for 10 days. " But you take responsibility in this case. And for the prevention of such drugs do not inject, especially children.

Hello, please, answer my question.Is it possible to prick the cortex into the neck, into the muscle? My daughter is 6.5 years old. Tics, obsessive movements, some are changed by others, displacement of vertebrae in the cervical region, hyperactivity, blood supply to the brain is impaired. The progress in school is normal, the memory is excellent, though, the concentration of attention is not very.

Galina, I've never heard of such a technique, and Cortexin is a drug of indirect action, that is, it must first be absorbed into the bloodstream and then transported to neural cells. So it is doubtful that using this medication in the place of the problem will lead to an increase in the effect.
