Cereton

Tsereton is a nootropic drug that is used to restore the functional activity of nerve cells in the brain.

It is the source of choline, a substance that participates in the production of the most important CNS mediator of acetylcholine and ensures the normal course of metabolic reactions in the brain. The action of Cereton is due to the features of the active component - choline alfoscerate. The drug supplies choline to the central nervous system, where it is used to produce acetylcholine (a substance that provides nerve impulses) and phosphatidylcholine (a component of the cell membrane).

As a result, the speed of impulses between neurons improves, the elasticity of the cell wall increases, the cells of the brain and the functions of damaged receptors are restored.

Composition and form of release

Tsereton is a nootropic remedy, produced in the form of a solution for intravenous or intramuscular injections, as well as in the form of capsules for oral administration.

solution - clear liquid in a transparent ampoule of 4 ml;
capsule - has a yellow color, gelatinous shell, inside there is an oil consistency liquid.

Composition 1 capsule Cereton:

active substance: choline alfoscerate - 400 mg (in terms of 100% substance);
auxiliary components: glycerol - 50 mg; purified water - in sufficient quantity to obtain a content weight of 590 mg;
shell: propyl parahydroxybenzoate, gelatin, glycerol, sorbitol, methyl parahydroxybenzoate, titanium dioxide, iron oxide yellow dye, purified water.

Composition 1 ml of solution Cereton:

active substance: anhydrous choline alphoscerate 250 mg (as a choline alfoscerate polyhydrate);
auxiliary component: water for injection - up to 1 ml.

Pharmacological effect

Tsereton belongs to the number of nootropic drugs. It is a holinomimetic of the central action, which includes 40.5% of the metabolically protected choline.

Metabolic protection promotes the release of choline in the brain. The drug positively influences the behavioral and cognitive responses of patients with cerebrovascular diseases (dyscirculatory encephalopathy, residual phenomena of cerebral circulation disorders), promotes regression of focal neurological symptoms and recovery consciousness, prophylactically and correctly corrects the pathogenetic factors of the involutional psycho-organic syndrome.

Other effects of Cereton:

changes in the phospholipid composition of neuronal membranes and a decrease in cholinergic activity;
stimulation of dose-dependent release of acetylcholine under physiological conditions;
providing synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine in neuronal membranes;
improvement of blood flow and enhancement of metabolic processes in the central nervous system;
activation of the reticular formation;
an increase in the linear velocity of blood flow on the side of traumatic brain injury;
normalization of spatiotemporal characteristics of spontaneous bioelectric activity of the brain;
improvement of synaptic transmission, plasticity of neuronal membranes, receptor function (due to participation in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine - membrane phospholipid).

Does not affect the reproductive cycle and does not have mutagenic and teratogenic effects.

Indications for use

Indications for the application of Cereton are:

Various disorders of the CNS.
Intracranial hematomas.
Mental diseases of an organic nature.
Nervous disorders.
Stroke.
A cerebral infarction.
Encephalopathy.
Dementia of unknown origin.
Craniocerebral injury.
Coordination disorders.

The drug is also prescribed for the treatment of elderly patients who have reduced the number of synaptic connections. This negatively affects the activity of the brain. The drug also increases the speed of nerve impulses, which compensates for the aging factors.

Contraindications

Medication is not prescribed in the acute period of stroke and hemorrhage. Tablets and injections are contraindicated in bearing pregnancy, individual intolerance to choline and ancillary components, with lactation. The drug is not used in pediatrics (the age limit is 18 years).

Pregnancy and lactemia

The period of pregnancy and lactation is a contraindication for the use of Cereton. The active ingredient penetrates into breast milk and can harm the undeveloped structures of the brain of the newborn.

If there is an acute need for a course of therapy during breastfeeding, it is advisable to make a decision to transfer the child to artificial feeding.

Dosage and route of administration

As indicated in the instructions for the use of the capsule Tsereton intended for oral administration, preferably before meals. They are not chewed, swallowed whole, washed down with enough water.

The average therapeutic dosage for the treatment of chronic conditions (treatment of acute conditions is carried out with the help of medicinal forms of the drug, intended for parenteral administration) is 400 mg (1 capsule) 3 times a day.

Duration of treatment can vary from 3 months to 6 months.

ischemic changes in the brain tissues.

Rarely is there a violation of urination, diarrhea syndrome, pain in the area of injection.

Overdose Symptoms

With a significant excess of the recommended therapeutic dose of Tsereton capsules, nausea develops. In this case, gastric lavage, intestinal sorbents intake, as well as symptomatic therapy if necessary.

special instructions

The drug Tsereton does not affect the speed of psychomotor reactions of a person. Acceptance of the composition is not an indication for refusing to work with machinery or driving vehicles.

Before using the drug, attention should be paid to the following parameters:

The safety of the use of an agent for the treatment of children has not been confirmed by clinical trials.
When the adverse reactions occur, the remedy is not abolished, and dose adjustments are made.

Compatibility with other drugs

Clinical trials confirming the significant interaction of nootropic drug with other active components have not been carried out. Information on drug interaction is absent. The manifestation of any disturbing symptoms during the course of medication should be reported to a specialist.

Patient Reviews

We offer you to read reviews of people who used Cereton:

Lyudmila. Has transferred or carried a stroke 4 years ago.. About a preparation did not know.. then deducted on the Internet and began to drink pills.. after taking one pill felt a quick improvement.. but bought expensive.. for 750 rub.. in the head immediately clarity relief.. I will drink and even then sweat ...
Svetlana. My doctor prescribed a capsule for my mother, because she had a stroke. She has been drinking for two months now, and she really likes it. We did not observe any side effects. True, in the early days, nauseated, but then everything went away, maybe it was not from the medicine. Mom is going to drink Tsereton and on, feels much better
Angela. I drank a 400mg ceretone plate (14 capsules 2 weeks), and most likely my body reacted with a lot of hair loss... stopped drinking it, began to take vitamins to improve hair growth... 2 weeks I drink vitamins, I see less hair on the comb after combing... I was very frightened.

Holilitil.

Also there are analogues that are available in the form of a solution:

Glazer.
Delecite.
Choline alphoscerate.
Cerepro.

Before buying an analogue, consult your doctor.

Gliatilin or Tsereton - which is better?

When choosing a medicine, especially nootropics, it is important to be guided not only by instructions for use, but first of all by the recommendations of the attending physician.

If you compare two representatives of one pharmacological group - Tsereton and Gliatilin, the first medication is cheaper, and many doctors reproach him for mediocre action in the body. Assign it, because it is inexpensive, helps cure the disease when used intravenously. The cost of the original - Gliatilina is an order of magnitude higher, and the therapeutic effect is not in any doubt.
