I myself do not complain about high blood pressure; on the contrary, I suffer from low blood pressure. But her husband's whip - high blood pressure. He then and the white light is not nice. This problem has recently appeared. At the reception the therapist prescribed him a medicine Vinpocetin. We immediately bought it, the price is very conservative and affordable.
Drink them three times a day after meals. Drink the medicine you need courses. But here it is necessary to consult with the therapist. You can not take alcohol if you drink Vinpocetin. The drug does not affect the ability to control the machine. Allergies and other side effects of her husband was not.
The medicine has contraindications. Without prescribing a doctor, I would not recommend taking it; Vinpocetine has an antispasmodic effect.

Vinpocetine was administered at senile deafness to my father. First, the course was carried out by intravenous instructions, and then switched to tablets. The doctor, prescribing the treatment course, warned that there might be pressure problems. And it happened.My father always kept at the same level with a rise of 140, and then jumped to 180. The course had to stop and another treatment was prescribed, but this medicine still gave, albeit a small, but positive effect.

Which of the drugs is stronger - vinpocetine or Cavinton? The headache worries. I wanted to take a course.
Administrators

Alexandre, The course should appoint a doctor, as the cause of the headache mass and the layman understand what the head hurts without a minimum of research is not possible.

Cavinton is the brand drug of Gedeon Richter, it contains the active ingredient Vinpocetine. The rule with the appointment of branded drugs is: I have money for an expensive drug - better drink it, no - buy at least a cheap analog, the effect will still be if the treatment is selected correctly. In your case, I would spend money on research into the causes of the headache, and not spend immediately on treatment.

The neurologist appointed Cavinton,I drank a course, improved, took a break, but again headaches began, the doctor on vacation, decided to drink this medicine again, but the pressure began to jump. The last time this was not, can there be a medication? In general, there have been problems with high blood pressure for a long time.
Administrators

kiraOne of the possible causes of headaches is high blood pressure. Last time it was quite possible that it coincided that Cavinton helped, and the pressure did not skip, although before that it had caused headaches. Now the hypertension has strengthened and the taken Vinpocetin could no longer exert a significant influence on the disease. In general, solve problems with pressure, and there is more likely and headaches will go away

How long can I drink Vinpocetine? Does the body get used to it?
Administrators
admin
kittengoldThe standard course of treatment with Vinpocetine is up to 3 months. You can repeat this treatment 2-3 times a year.No dependence or addiction to this drug does not arise, since it is a vascular drug and does not contain anything bad. If there are serious indications, the course of treatment may be increased, but this should be decided by the attending physician.

Mom 90, hypertensive, long drank Cavinton. Now she was prescribed vinprotsetin, just temporarily was not in Cavinton's pharmacies. Can I just replace the medicine? The doctor does not go into the state of grandmother. Provincial precinct. It is difficult to eat, there are no teeth, they do not like mashed potatoes, they often eat unsuitable foods. And for a long time constantly uses strepsils.

natale sambir, Vinpocetin is a domestic 100% analogue of the active ingredient of the imported drug Cavinton. To say that he certainly will not help your grandmother.I myself prefer to prescribe imported drugs, but many patients are well suited and domestic. So try and just watch the reaction of the patient's body (if you give the medicine yourself, you may not tell your grandmother about replacing the drug so that there are no unnecessary psychological problems and self-hypnosis).

Also, the heart began to ache and arrhythmia, and the noise in both ears. Previously, only Cavinton Fort took. I have intracranial birth trauma, that's why I drink.

Hello! Do they prescribe this drug in children's autism or ZPR?
Administrators
admin
LeraAs far as I know, adequate medications for the treatment of autism have not been found. Every neurologist treats to the best of his experience, mostly unsuccessful, but is this an excuse to refuse treatment? Especially Vinpocetine acts gently. True, the effect of this drug on children and adolescents under 18 years old has not been studied and one can simply participate in the experiment and risk the health of your child. I do not know what to say to you on this issue.

Vinpocetine affects the potency?
Administrators
admin
Abram, Usually in any way. Vinpocetine is a drug for the treatment of cerebral blood flow and brain metabolism disorders, and not peripheral blood circulation, so it can not affect the potency, unless an individual side reaction manifests itself, but it happens from any tablets.

The drug prescribed itself - for prevention, so to speak. I drank 20 pieces - I thought I would die of severe headaches, depression like that I wanted to rush under the train.

I have been doing Cavinton droppers every year for 20 years, after that I feel fine: the pressure is normal, the headaches are passing. But here to me have appointed or nominated analog Vinpocetinum, to me he has not approached or suited. During a dropper, there are pains in the heart, drowsiness and after there is no relief in the head. It's better Cavinton.

Appointed vinpocetine and betahistine for dizziness and hearing loss. Everything was normal. But a dry cough appeared. Tablets I accept constantly. Is this condition associated with taking these drugs: I take them 2 weeks?
Administrators
admin
Andreev Nikolay ConstantinovichFor both Betagistin and Vinpocetine, the appearance of dry cough is uncharacteristic in response to taking these medications. Usually this effect is more typical for ACE inhibitors (enalapril, lisinopril and others), as the most popular drugs in use, which you might not mention in the question.In any case, it is worth to consult a doctor who prescribes these medications for advice and the cause of a dry cough. Possible individual adverse reaction to the taking of any of the drugs indicated in the question.

In due time, after a stroke, Cavinton was appointed, the general condition worsened, refused to take. Has tried or tasted vinpocetin, has approached or suited, has felt improvement and more than 10 years I accept and courses, and on 1 tab. in the morning for six months. The neurologist says that you need courses, but after she prescribed me a drug that made her worse on the third day (and she agreed that he had the same effect) and prescribes that drug to almost everyone, I came to the conclusion that I need to listen to my body, not her.

To me the preparation has helped or assisted. Saw 3 tablets a day, a month saw. In my head it cleared up, and the pressure subsided, did not rise, it became easier. I have a heart disease.
I received vinpocetine in / in a drip + polarizing mixture with analgin in / in drip, all this in nat. p-re + vit.B1 + vit.B6 v / m. Treated severe dizziness, shakiness, depressive state. The condition has improved, but not much. At the same time, she took beta-histidine. The shakiness continued, the pressure steadily increased, despite antihypertensive therapy. After analyzing all the ingredients, I realized: blood pressure increases. rr. 4.6 g of NaCl is simultaneously administered. When I switched to tab. Vinpocetin 5mg. * 3p, the condition became so much better that I just came to life. Even the heart rate returned to normal. I advise everyone - let the doctor analyze your treatment regimen all! I'm 69 years old, I'm happy with Vinpocetine.

Tell me, please, in the part of pobachki Cavinton is better than Vinpocetine? Who accepted both? Has started to drink Vinpocetinum, giddinesses and shakiness at once have almost left, the head has lightened, but the tachycardia has begun. At me in general problems with selection of vascular preparations, and without them in any way, a chronic disturbance of a circulation, Vinpocetinum practically unique from which there is an effect.Should I try Cavinton?
Administrators

Tatyana, Cavinton - a brand, imported Vinpocetine. You can try to replace, given the real therapeutic effect, though with a possible side reaction in the form of tachycardia, which by the way can be by itself and independent of the drug. Tachycardia occurs in the side effects of both Vinpocetine and Cavinton.
