Abstract

This paper presents the mechanism of action of vinpocetine omni. Particular attention is given to the application of vinpocetine in many neurological diseases: cerebrovascular disorders, cognitive disorders, vascular dementia, stroke brain. Attention was drawn to apply in otolaryngology and ophthalmology. Also a significant safety profile and low side effects were indicated.
