It activates the processes of synaptic transmission of nerve excitation in the central nervous system. Weakens the depressive effects of reserpine, potentiates the effects of norepinephrine precursor - dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa), stimulates the adrenergic structures potentiates the effects of serotonin precursor - 5 oksitriptofana (stimulates serotonergic structures).
