Bilobil

Bilobil has antihypoxic, angioprotective, neurometabolic and antioxidant properties, and in addition, it improves microcirculation processes and potentiates cerebral and peripheral blood flow.

It is a herbal preparation; it stabilizes cellular metabolism, tissue perfusion and rheological blood characteristics.

Helps improve cerebral blood flow and promotes saturation of the brain with oxygen and glucose. The drug slows down erythrocyte aggregation and inhibits platelet activation. Depending on the portion size, it regulates the effect on the vessels, activates NO production, increases venous tone, which leads to a change in the filling of the vessels with blood, and dilates arterioles. Strengthens the strength of the vascular walls.

Pharmacodynamics

The drug has an antithrombotic effect (strengthens the strength of platelet and erythrocyte walls, affects the biosynthesis of PG and reduces the effectiveness of the platelet-activating factor). Slows down the processes of peroxidation of fat inside the cell walls and the formation of free radical elements. Stabilizes the exchange of neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, dopamine and acetylcholine).

At the same time, it has antihypoxic activity, stimulates metabolism, helps with the accumulation of macroergs, increases the rate of utilization of oxygen with glucose and regulates mediating processes within the brain.
