Cefavor is a homeopathic medicine with a complex composition.
Indications of the cefavor
It is used in disorders of the circulatory system and changes in blood pressure, against which headaches develop.
Release form
It is available in the form of drops for oral administration in vials of 50 or 100 ml volume. In the kit there is also a special nozzle-dispenser. Inside the pack - 1 bottle with drops.
Pharmacodynamics
The constituent elements of the drug allow to improve the processes of microcirculation in the heart and brain, as well as peripheral circulation. In addition, they reduce erythrocyte and platelet aggregation, as well as blood viscosity. As a result, there is an improvement in blood characteristics and an increase in the rate of capillary circulation.
Normalization of capillary permeability and cell walls is carried out. Inside tissues, processes that promote the absorption of sugar, as well as oxygen, are activated. Flavonoids prevent the effects of free radicals released by the body in fairly large quantities against the background of IHD.
With the stabilization of circulatory processes, the subclavian syndrome does not develop, as a result of which there is an improvement in the metabolic processes inside the heart tissues, and also in the internal organs with the brain and in the extremities, and also providing them with oxygen.

The medicine is taken orally (nebulized drops are allowed).
Adolescents from 12 years and adults are required to take the medication 3-4 times a day (20-30 drops each). Children 6-12 years old - the number of methods is similar, and the dose is 10-15 drops.
