Hopept® has nootropic and neuroprotective properties. Improves learning ability and memory by acting on all processing phases: initial processing of information, consolidation, extraction. Prevents the development of amnesia caused by electric shock, blockade of central cholinergic structures, glutamatergic receptor systems, deprivation of the paradoxical phase of sleep.
The neuroprotective (protective) action of Noopept® is manifested in increasing the resistance of brain tissue to damaging effects (trauma, hypoxia, electroconvulsive, toxic) and weakening the degree of damage to brain neurons. The drug reduces the volume of the focus on the thrombotic stroke model and prevents the death of neurons in the tissue culture of the cerebral cortex and cerebellum, subjected to the action of neurotoxic concentrations of glutamate, free radical oxygen.Noopept® has an antioxidant effect, blocks potential-dependent calcium channels of neurons, weakening the neurotoxic effect of excess calcium, improves the rheological properties of blood, possessing antiplatelet, fibrinolytic, anticoagulant properties.
The nootropic effect of the drug is associated with the formation of cycloprolylglycine, similar in structure to the endogenous cyclic dipeptide, which has antiamnestic activity, as well as the presence of cholinopositive action.
Noopept® increases the transcallosal response amplitude, facilitating associative connections between the cerebral hemispheres at the level of the cortical structures. Promotes the restoration of memory and other cognitive functions, disrupted as a result of damaging effects - brain trauma, local and global ischemia, prenatal injuries (alcohol, hypoxia).
Therapeutic effect of the drug in patients with organic disorders central nervous system - the system manifests itself, starting from the 5th-7th day of treatment. Initially, the anxiolytic and light stimulating effects present in the spectrum of Noopept® activity are realized,manifested in the reduction or disappearance of anxiety, increased irritability, affective lability, sleep disturbances. After 14-20 days of therapy, the positive effect of the drug on cognitive functions, attention and memory parameters is revealed.
Hopept® has a vegetative normalizing effect, it helps to reduce headaches, orthostatic disorders, tachycardia.
With the withdrawal of the drug there is no syndrome of "withdrawal".
Does not have a damaging effect on internal organs; does not lead to a change in the cellular composition of the blood and biochemical indicators of blood and urine; does not have an immunotoxic, teratogenic effect, does not show mutagenic properties.
