Pharmacodynamics

Cerepro is a cholinomimetic of central action, it contains about 40.5% of metabolically protected choline. Due to this, this substance has its effect precisely in the brain. When the drug enters the patient's body, it begins to interact with the enzymes, and then breaks down into glycerophosphate and pure choline. Choline takes part in the biological synthesis of acetylcholine, and glycerophosphate normalizes the phospholipid structures that are located in the neuronal membrane.

Thanks to this remedy, phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine are synthesized in the body, which help improve blood flow and strengthen metabolic processes in the central nervous system, and increases the linear blood flow on the side of the brain that was affected. In patients, the behavioral response is improved, and the space-time characteristics are normalized. The drug effectively improves the basic functions of the brain.
