Pills for memory are often acquired by those who have any vascular pathologies associated with chronic oxygen starvation of the cerebral cortex, as well as with skull injuries, parasitic invasions, viral or bacterial infections. In addition, such drugs are necessary in cases where memory is impaired as a result of sleeping pills, anesthesia and intoxication, including alcohol, drugs and tobacco.
Who appoints?
Memory pills are recommended to be purchased and taken only as directed by a doctor. To diagnose existing diseases, the patient needs to be tested by a specialist such as a psychiatrist or neurologist.
The main types of drugs
Pills for improving memory, the price of which can vary from 50 to 700 rubles, depending on the composition and principle of action, are divided into several types. Let's consider each of them in more detail.
Cholinesterase blockers
Such drugs interfere with the breakdown of acetylcholine, which ensures the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain cells, thereby contributing to better memory (Rivastigmine, Galantamine, Donezil hydrochloride, etc.).
Racetam or pyrrolidine derivatives
The presented memory pills activate glutamate receptors located next to the acetylcholine receptors, thereby potentiating their effect (Piracetam, Aloracetam, Dupracetam, etc.)
B vitamins
These drugs potentiate the process of memorization, smooth out the effects of anesthesia, increase the efficiency of the brain, improve neuromuscular transmission and prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease (medicines “Cyancobalamin”, “Pyritinol”, “Enerbol”, etc.).
Gamma Aminobutyric Acids
The presented means provide relief of excitation in the brain, regulate transportation and utilize sugar, and also increase the resistance of neurocytes to hypoxia (Aminalon, Phenibut, Pantogam, etc.).
Neuropeptides
Memory pills of this type alter the postsynaptic effect of acetylcholine, thereby increasing the activation of nerve cells (Semax, Selank, Tiroliberin, etc.).
Amino acids
Such drugs excite the central nervous system, significantly improving memory ("Glycine", "Picamilon", etc.).
Antioxidants
These agents stabilize the membranes of neurocytes and significantly reduce the level of lipid peroxidation (ascorbic acid, Mexidol, etc.).
Adamantane derivatives
These drugs increase the choline content in the brain and accelerate the transmission of nerve impulses. In addition, under the influence of these drugs, the level of lipofuscin decreases, which is an aging pigment (good tablets for improving memory: Mefexamide, Memantine, Adrafinyl, Bifimelan, Demanol, etc.).
Combination drugs
Such funds combine all the mnemotropic properties ("Inotropil", "Ozatropil", "Fezam", "Orocetam", "Tiocetam", etc.).
