Area of application

The medicine is a blood circulation-promoting herbal agent that is used for the symptomatic treatment of organic brain-related performance disorders as part of an overall therapeutic concept for dementia syndromes.These syndromes include memory impairment, difficulty concentrating, depressed mood, dizziness, ringing in the ears and headaches.The medication is also used to extend the pain-free walking distance in peripheral arterial disease in stage II to FONTAINE (intermittent claudication, "intermittent claudication") as part of physical-therapeutic measures, in particular walking training.It can also be used for dizziness and ringing in the ears caused by circulatory disorders or age-related regression processes.

The primary target group are patients with dementia syndrome in primary degenerative dementia, vascular dementia and mixed forms of both.Before treatment is started, it should be clarified whether the symptoms of the disease are not due to an underlying disease that requires specific treatment.

Dosage

Always take the medicine exactly as directed.Please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, the usual dose for the symptomatic treatment of organic brain-related performance disorders is 1 - 2 tablets 3 times a day.To extend the pain-free walking distance with peripheral arterial disease, take 1½ - 2 tablets twice a day.For dizziness and ringing in the ears of vascular and involutive origin, take 1½ - 2 tablets twice a day.

In the case of performance disorders caused by organic brain disorders, the duration of treatment should be at least 8 weeks.After a treatment period of 3 months, the doctor must check whether continued treatment is still justified.In the case of arterial occlusive disease in the limbs, an improvement in walking distance requires a treatment period of at least 6 weeks.In the case of dizziness, use over a period longer than 6 to 8 weeks does not improve the treatment result.Supportive treatment for ringing in the ears should be carried out over a period of at least 12 weeks.If there is no success after 6 months, this can no longer be expected even with longer treatment.
