Abstract

The article presents the utility of vinpocetine in neurology in chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency. The neuroprotective aspect of vinpocetine and multidirectional mechanism of the medicine have been shown. Furthermore, the effectiveness and safety of the medicine have been included. The emphasis has been put on the effective dose of the medicine (30 mg/day) in the process of treating chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency.
