Summary:
Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) is a common syndrome that, in the absence of adequate therapy, is characterized by a progressive course, an increase in cognitive, emotional, motor and other disorders, eventually leading to persistent disability of the patient. In the treatment of patients with CCI, the use of drugs with a multimodal neuroprotective effect is indicated. The results of the analysis of a series of clinical trials of the drugs Mexidol and Mexidol FORTE in patients with CCI are presented. The effects in relation to cognitive, emotional, asthenic, vegetative and other manifestations of CCI are considered. It is concluded that it is advisable to consistently use the drugs Mexidol and Mexidol FORTE in such patients.
