Neuroton Uses |
||
Cerebrovascular Diseases (eg, From Ischemia Due to Stroke): Neuroton accelerates the recovery of consciousness and overcoming motor deficit. The clinical testing of Neuroton has challenged the historical concept that one can do nothing for a stroke patient after a certain period of time has transpired after the onset of symptoms. The practicality of a drug that can be administered up to 24 hrs after stroke is a key factor in evaluating the potential of Neuroton.
The potential of Neuroton as stroke therapy is underscored by other key attributes: Its oral dosage for a 24-hr window of therapeutic opportunity following stroke and an apparent absence of significant side effects. Preliminary evidence suggests that in a small subgroup of patients, Neuroton may reduce the size of the impact caused by stroke.
Treatment of Neuroton within the first 24 hrs after onset in patients with moderate to severe stroke increase the probability of complete recovery in 3 months.
Head Trauma of Varying Severity: In a clinical trial, Neuroton accelerated the recovery from posttraumatic coma and the recuperation of walking ability, achieved a better final functional result and reduced hospital stay.
Cognitive Disorders of Diverse Etiology [eg, Senile Cognitive Impairment which is Secondary to Degenerative Diseases (eg, Alzheimer's Disease) and to Chronic Cerebral Vascular Disease]: Neuroton improves scores on cognitive evaluation scales and slowed the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Parkinson's Disease: Neuroton has also been shown to be effective as co-therapy for Parkinson's disease. Beneficial neuroendocrine, neuroimmunomodulatory and neurophysiological effects have been described. Considerable experimental evidence of effects of Neuroton on CNS dopaminergic system has accumulated. After treatment with Neuroton, regeneration of cells in rats with substantia nigra lesions has been demonstrated. Neuroton increases striatal dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase synthesis.
Chlordiazepoxide is used to treat anxiety and acute alcohol withdrawal. It is also used to relieve fear and anxiety before surgery. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA).

Parkinson's Disease: The usual daily dose is 500 mg IV once daily in concomitant therapy with anticholinergic agent. After concomitant therapy with anticholinergic agent for 3-4 weeks, Neuroton should be discontinued and be considered. Dose of anticholinergic agent may be increased or Neuroton 250-500 mg may be administered concomitantly once daily, every 2-3 weeks unless levodopa can be used. Administration of Neuroton should be stopped, provided that after administration of Neuroton 500 mg plus anticholinergic agent everyday for 2 weeks, diseases are not improved.
