If cerebral circulation is disturbed after a previous stroke, the patient is often prescribed special drugs aimed at restoring blood flow in the vessels of the brain. Among these drugs, one of the most effective is considered to be "Cellex". Reviews say that it helps to quickly achieve recovery and avoid relapse.
Description of the drug
The medication looks like a clear liquid in ampoules, which has a light yellow color. By consistency, it is sparse and more like plain water. The drug does not have a pronounced smell.
"Cellex" refers to a subgroup of nootropic drugs. After its administration, new interactions between synapses and neurons arise. Damaged brain structures gradually begin to recover. The medicine helps to strengthen the immune system, due to this physiological processes in the brain are regulated.
During the tests, it was noted that in patients who have had a stroke, tissue necrosis is gradually reduced, damaged brain cells begin to recover. When using “Cellex” according to the instructions for use, patient reviews left on specialized sites suggest that the cure began to occur much faster - already on the 5th day after the first dose, they improved their sensitivity, memory, motor and speech functions.
The composition of the drug
“Cellex” is distributed through the pharmacy network in cardboard packages, each of which contains 5 ampoules of 1 ml each. The composition includes the main substance, which is a polypeptide compound extracted from the brain of pig embryos. Each milligram of the drug contains 1.65 mg of total protein. As additional substances were used - sodium chloride, purified water, glycine, sodium dihydrate.
pharmachologic effect
The nootropic agent has a strong pharmacological effect, and thanks to its unique composition, which includes protein structures and peptide compounds, it helps to achieve enhanced growth of nerve cells, after which their complete or partial recovery occurs.
It is noted that the period of regeneration of brain tissue is halved, which is confirmed by medical studies. Starting to take the drug "Cellex", a person will soon be able to return to his daily rhythm of life. One of the most important healing effects is that brain processes gradually return to normal.
However, doctors still can not determine why the drug has just such a pharmacological effect. Experts agree that this effect is precisely the complex composition in which the components successfully complement each other, helping to achieve such a result. If you remove any of the ingredients, for example, glycine, then the action of "Celllex" will not be so effective.
Mode of application
To administer the medicine, a subcutaneous injection will be required. In each individual case, the doctor may prescribe different dosages for treatment with "Cellex" according to the instructions. Patient reviews and medical studies confirm that the dose directly depends on the duration of the disease and the degree of brain damage.
The standard dose is 0.1 to 0.2 mg every 24 hours. It is recommended to perform injections at the same time, then the therapeutic effect will be most pronounced. As a rule, the course of treatment is no more than 7-10 days. In the event that the patient is not recovering, a second course of therapy is prescribed.
Side effects
If restorative treatment with this drug is prescribed, you need to pay attention to whether the patient is allergic to peptides and proteins, which are the main active ingredient. The most common side effects of the Cellex medication are:
- a small rash;
- redness;
- swelling
- insomnia;
- itching
In some cases, you may experience headache, nausea, or vomiting while taking Cellex. According to patients' reviews, it was concluded that sometimes drowsiness or restlessness is present instead of insomnia. But these symptoms are more likely the exception and occur extremely rarely. In medical practice, not a single case of overdose was recorded if the instructions for use were observed, which indicated that the drug should not be administered more than once a day.
Contraindications
It is recommended to study the list of diseases, before which the use of the Cellex medicine is contraindicated, even before the start of treatment. You can not prescribe the drug with:
- epilepsy;
- manic psychosis;
- delirium;
- productive nonsense.
Due to insufficient data on how “Cellex” affects children, it cannot be used until the age of 18. Also, medication is prohibited during childbearing and when breastfeeding due to the fact that it can penetrate the placenta and breast milk.
Price
Despite the excellent pharmacological data that help to achieve a quick recovery of the patient, one of the main disadvantages of the drug is its high price. On average, it is 7000-9000 for each package with five ampoules, while the course of treatment can be 7-10 days. In a pharmacy, a medicine is dispensed only by prescription. And since the cost of the medication is high, its delivery can be 5-7 days, so it is recommended to order "Celllex" in advance.
Storage conditions for the drug
It is necessary to observe the correct storage conditions for the Cellex medication; reviews in this case will be only positive. The instructions for use indicate that it is best to put the medicine in a refrigerator or other cool place where the temperature will not exceed 10 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to ensure that children can not get to the drug and take it inside by mistake. Shelf life - no more than 1 year.
Drug interaction
If you use the drug in conjunction with other psychostimulating drugs, you may experience sleep disturbance and increased psychomotor agitation. With a long course of treatment, there is a decrease in the effectiveness of antipsychotics, tranquilizers and other soothing medicines if they are taken with Cellex.
Doctors reviews
Immediately after the appearance of the drug on the pharmacological market, it was difficult to judge its effectiveness. However, after several years of use, it gained popularity among doctors and patients. Full-fledged brain studies using MRI and CT in stroke patients showed a high percentage of recovery from this serious illness when using Cellex according to the instructions for use.
The doctors' comments about the drug indicate that they evaluate this drug as an innovative nootropic drug with a high degree of purification compared to other obsolete drugs, such as Piracetam and Cerebrolysin. It helps to restore motor functions much faster, which are directly related to the work of brain cells. The main recommendation of specialists is to use "Cellex", without departing from the instructions of the drug.
On the Web, you can also find reviews describing the negative experience of using the drug. If you carefully read these messages, it will become clear that such responses are left by animal advocates who oppose the use of the brain of pig embryos.
In general, physicians who use the drug in practice are very pleased with it, according to their statement, Cellex gives a much greater chance of recovering patients with pathological conditions of the brain, and it is better to take it than outdated analogues, despite the high cost in the pharmacy network .
