Indicated medicines

Active Ingredient Description
Citicoline

Citicoline stimulates the biosynthesis of structural phospholipids of the neuronal membrane. Citicoline, through this action, improves the function of the membrane mechanisms, such as the functioning of the ionic exchange pumps and receptors inserted in the latter, the modulation of which is indispensable in the neurotransmission.

Dihydroergocristine
Phenytoin

Phenytoin is effective in various animal models of generalised convulsive disorders, reasonably effective in models of partial seizures but relatively ineffective in models of myoclonic seizures. It appears to stabilise rather than raise the seizure threshold and prevents spread of seizure activity rather than abolish the primary focus of seizure discharge.
