Pharmacodynamics

A nootropic drug that has a pronounced antiamnestic effect, promotes memory consolidation, facilitates the learning process, increases the resistance of brain tissues to toxic effects, and has an anticonvulsant effect.

It has a positive effect on metabolic processes, stimulates redox processes, increases the energy potential of the body due to the utilization of glucose. Increases the content of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin in the brain, does not affect the level of GABA, does not bind to GABA and GABA receptors, does not have a noticeable effect on the spontaneous bioelectric activity of the brain.

It does not affect respiration and the cardiovascular system, shows an unexpressed diuretic effect, has anorexigenic activity when used for a course.

The stimulating effect is manifested in the ability to have a moderate effect, manifested in relation to motor reactions, increasing physical performance, as well as reducing the severity of the hypnotic effect of ethanol and hexobarbital.
