The drug "Tanakan" is very popular today. Its main active ingredient is an extract from the leaves of a tropical plant Ginkgo biloba. The action of the drug is aimed at improving cerebral circulation, as well as blood circulation on the periphery. In this case, the agent has an antihypoxic effect.
What is the analogue of Tanakan? A pharmaceutical product that contains the same active ingredient. The provided effect at the same time as from the use of "Tanakan", and from its analogs practically does not differ. Some features of the action may cause additional substances in the composition of the dosage forms. The effectiveness of the drug is primarily determined by the dosage and quantitative content of the active substance in it.
Such an analogue of "Tanakan" as "Bilobil" ("Bilobil forte"), today is a fairly well-promoted drug. Medicines based on ginkgo biloba extract are very expensive, so their release is a profitable business for pharmaceutical companies. Currently, when the level of cardiovascular pathologies is critically high, a drug that can actively influence the changes that occur, inhibiting them, cannot but be popular. Due to both the high demand for these drugs and their high cost on the pharmaceutical market, new commercial names appear: Vitrum Memori, Ginos, Ginkoba, Ginkoum, Gingium, Ginkogink, Ginkgo Biloba "and others.
As we have already mentioned, the Tanakan analogue is not significantly different from the drug itself.
The form of release of the drug may be different. Most often, the medicine is presented in tablets, as well as solutions for oral administration (the latter - in bottles of thirty milliliters).
The pharmacological effect of the drug is based on the improvement of blood rheology, the activity of vasomotor reactions, as well as the strengthening of metabolic processes in cells.
Improves the supply of glucose and oxygen to the brain drug Tanakan. The instructions for children do not contain any specific instructions or side effects.
Indications for prescribing medication are:
- memory deficit (cognitive) and attention deficit of almost any genesis. An exception is dementia and Alzheimer's disease;
- violation of visual acuity caused by pathology of the vascular bed;
- intermittent claudication that occurs with atherosclerosis (obliterans) of the lower extremities;
- tinnitus caused by vascular disorders, hearing impairment, dizziness and impaired coordination;
- vascular diseases of a spastic nature.
Due to the ability of drugs based on ginkgo biloba to improve vascular microcirculation, normal saturation (oxygen saturation) of various organs and tissues of the human body is restored.
"Tanakan" for children is prescribed on the recommendation of a doctor. The dosage of the tabletted drug is 40 mg. The drug is used three times a day, with meals. In the form of a solution, one milliliter is used orally, having previously dissolved it in half a glass of water.
