13 best drugs for the brain
The human brain (from the point of view of the man himself) is the most finely organized, the most sophisticated substance in the space of the studied part of the Universe, capable of knowing itself. Of course, this statement is extremely anthropocentric, but quite justified, since man still does not communicate with intelligent representatives of other civilizations. However, the human brain throughout the life of an individual needs regular help.
With the development of modern medicine, the opportunity has arisen to improve certain brain functions. The simplest drugs affecting the brain include sleeping pills known to mankind. But in this review, dedicated to the best OTC brain, hypnotics will not be considered. For them, there are separate articles. Here will be told about several groups of drugs that are sold without a prescription.
The first group improves cerebral circulation. The second group of drugs has a nootropic effect, that is, improves memory tenacity, its temporal characteristics, contributes to the development of attention, and helps with severe mental stress during the period of study and examination.
Finally, the third group of non-prescription drugs includes several drugs that have a psychoactive and relaxing effect. All these tools can be bought without a prescription, and average prices are given for drugs sold in pharmacies of all forms of ownership in the Russian Federation in the spring of 2019.

Microcirculation and improvement of blood circulation
Open the ranking of the best drugs for the brain means to improve microcirculation. It is known that the smaller the caliber of an arterial vessel, the greater the total volume of tissue they supply, and first of all it is extremely important to have a complete blood supply to the brain. The brain requires the most blood and energy substrate, glucose, compared to any other organs. And this is despite the fact that the brain, unlike the heart and muscles, does not contract and does not perform mechanical work. In order to improve the blood supply to the brain, these drugs also serve.
Cavinton (Vinpocetine)
Rating: 4.9
This is a modified alkaloid vinpocetine, which is obtained from a beautiful plant with dark green leathery leaves and pink flowers - small Vinca.It turned out that Vinpocetine prevents oxygen starvation of brain tissue, reduces platelet aggregation, protects nervous tissue, dilates blood vessels and as a result optimizes cerebral blood flow.
Cavinton is indicated for both treatment and prophylaxis. It is used after brain concussion, with the initial phenomena of dementia, against the background of transient ischemic attacks, with the syndrome of the vertebrobasilar artery, as well as with various manifestations of encephalopathy, vascular eye diseases, progressive decrease in vision, with noise in the ears and Meniere's disease, as well as glaucoma .
The drug is prescribed after meals 1 to 2 tablets 3 times a day. You need to start with a dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day, but not exceeding the dose of 30 mg per day. The first symptoms of improvement develop in about a week, and the course is quite long: from 1 to 3 months.
Cavinton is released by the Hungarian pharmaceutical company Gedeon Richter. The cost of one package (50 tablets) - 227 rubles. Currently, Cavinton Forte is also produced with a dosage of 10 mg tablets, as well as Cavinton Comfort - the tablets dissolve in the mouth and have a pleasant orange flavor. They do not need to drink water.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of Cavinton is its good tolerability, softness of action, proven effectiveness associated with improved memory mechanisms and depression of the neurological deficit. However, it is necessary to avoid the appointment of Cavinton to patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
Trental
Rating: 4.8
The drug Trental contains pentoxifylline, and, strictly speaking, is a drug that acts not on the blood vessels of the brain, but on the viscosity of the blood. Pentoxifylline improves it, the so-called rheological properties, and in simple terms - the blood becomes more fluid and fluid. The drug affects the concentration of fibrinogen in the plasma, prevents sticking between red blood cells and platelets. Its task is to improve the blood flow in small vessels and in the capillaries, regardless of their location, in areas of chronic ischemia and impaired blood circulation. Naturally, such a body is very often the brain. Therefore, Trental is widely used in the consequences of atherosclerosis, in chronic cerebral ischemia in the elderly, and memory disorders. It is prescribed for various types of dizziness, as part of complex therapy in the treatment of strokes and post-stroke conditions, and for hearing disorders. Of course, Trental has other indications: this is the treatment of trophic ulcers, especially when it comes to diabetic lesions of the lower extremities.
Trental inside is appointed: one tablet of 100 mg 3 times a day. You can slowly increase the dose by half, but not more than 400 mg per day, and always by decision of the doctor. Sanofi-Aventis, the Indian division, produces the drug, and a pack of 60 tablets of 100 mg each, calculated for 20 days of administration in the initial dosage, costs 600 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
Despite the many advantages associated with a significant improvement in blood flow in the microvasculature, some precautions should be observed. There may be overdose symptoms, such as dizziness, tachycardia, and low blood pressure. The drug is contraindicated in case of low blood clotting, tendency to bleeding, with a history of hemorrhagic stroke or acute myocardial infarction. You can not use pentoxifylline and Trental in pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as in persons under 18 years of age.
Before the first use of the drug, it is necessary to consult a doctor, and special care should be taken if the patient has various rhythm disturbances, low pressure, peptic ulcer and other diseases and conditions.But in the event that the drug is prescribed, if it is well tolerated, then after a month and a half, the patient with decreased memory, with scattered attention, with periodic dizziness and headaches, there is a significant improvement in health.
Sermion (Nicergoline)
Rating: 4.7
By its physical structure, the active substance of Sermion - nicergoline belongs to alpha-blockers. It improves hemodynamic parameters in small vessels of the brain, and in vessels of the upper and lower extremities, it increases blood flow velocity. Along the way, it affects the neurotransmitter systems of the brain, increasing adrenergic, cholinergic and dopaminergic activity. As a result, this optimizes brain activity, and the so-called cognitive background. As a result, patients, especially with social maladjustment caused by dementia and behavioral disorders, improve the quality of life, they need less care than before receiving Sermion.
In addition to the above indications, the drug is used in the treatment of ischemic stroke, with vascular headache, when it is caused by vasospasm, or temporary contraction of blood vessels. Sermion is successfully used in the treatment of hypertensive crises, in case of illness and Raynaud's syndrome, as well as in other disorders of the peripheral blood circulation.
It is necessary to take Sermion inside, in a standard dosage of 10 mg, that is, one tablet 3 times a day. It should be borne in mind that almost all drugs to improve brain function are slow, they are not painkillers, not antispasmodics and not choleretic, the effect of which should be expected in two to three hours. As a rule, the effect develops gradually, and the course of treatment by Sermion should last at least 3 months for noticeable improvements in cognitive functions to occur.
Sermion is produced by the well-known company Pfizer, and a pack of 50 tablets of 100 mg costs, on average, 680 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
Sermion has several beneficial dosage forms: it can be administered intramuscularly, intravenously, and even with strict indications - intraarterially. However, it should be borne in mind that if patients have signs of chronic renal failure, then it is necessary to use low doses. In rare cases, there may be overdose symptoms in which blood pressure drops, but this effect occurs when administered intravenously in large doses. Sermion acts gently, and after three or four months, a neurologist, or another doctor who prescribed this drug, is recommended to conduct a study of the cognitive functions of memory and attention, which usually improve significantly. The only thing - you need to remember that Sermion can enhance the effect of drugs to lower blood pressure, and therefore it is advisable not to prescribe them in high doses, and Sermion should be administered gradually and gradually, that is, titrating the dose.
Xantinol nicotinate
Rating: 4.6
Xantinol nicotinate is a drug that also belongs to antiplatelet agents, but by its nature it is a vasodilator, or a vasodilator. Xantinol nicotinate in its mechanism belongs to phosphodiesterase blockers, it leads to a drop in calcium in the smooth muscles of blood vessels and their expansion.
It is shown in various diseases, which are based on more or less pronounced acute or chronic vascular spasm. First of all, it is a migraine, or a classic one-sided, throbbing headache, which is most often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, photophobia, and fear of fear. Before the appearance of a headache is often aura (precursors). Xanthinol nicotinate is indicated if the patient has symptoms of cerebral atherosclerosis, the effects of ischemic stroke, or cerebral infarction.If you take other diseases, it is a vascular lesion of the extremities, Raynaud's syndrome and disease, thrombotic conditions, phlebitis and thrombophlebitis.
You need to take the drug one tablet three times a day, the average course of reception is 2 months. If necessary, the dose can be increased to 12 tablets per day, but only on the recommendation of a doctor. Xanthineol nicotinate is produced by the domestic chemical department in the city of Usolye-Sibirskoye, and the medicine is very inexpensive: 60 tablets of 150 mg costs only 140 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
This drug has many advantages, which consist in a mild effect on peripheral vessels, improvement of cognitive functions, but there are also disadvantages. So, it is contraindicated in case of various bleedings, during exacerbation of gastric ulcer and erosive gastritis, and it is also necessary to use it very carefully against the background of antihypertensive drugs that lower blood pressure.
Instenon
Rating: 4.5
Finally, Instenon will be the last popular remedy for blood circulation in the ranking of the best brain products. It belongs to vazodilatator, and in its composition - as many as 3 ingredients: hexobendin, etamivan and etofillin. It improves trophism and the metabolism of not only brain tissue, but also myocardium, dilates the coronary vessels of the heart, reduces vascular spasm and improves blood circulation. At the same time, the vasomotor and respiratory center are activated, the limbic system and the reticular formation also become more active. It improves the external neural connections of the cortex and stem structures. Activated components of vegetative regulation. Brain cells more actively utilize glucose, the quality of synaptic transmission of impulses improves.
Instenon is shown after ischemic strokes in various vascular disorders, such as vascular dizziness, vertebral artery syndrome, chronic cerebral atherosclerosis, and other well-known diseases that reduce the quality of life in the elderly. Instenon is applied from 1 to 2 tablets 3 times a day. The course of treatment is at least one and a half months. Instenon is produced by the Macedonian company Alkaloid, and a package of 30 tablets costs about 560 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
Perhaps Instenon’s greatest advantage would be his ability to positively influence the heart, and in old age this argument is more than sufficient. But on the other hand, Instenon cannot be used in patients with increased intracranial pressure. Its characteristic symptoms are diffuse and diffuse headaches, feeling unwell in the mornings, progressive loss of vision or its loss for an inexplicable reason, and congestion in the fundus. The second contraindication to receive is epilepsy, episyndrome, and convulsive seizures. It is known that they, too, can increase intracranial pressure, and in these patients it is necessary to avoid taking instenon.
The best nootropics for the brain
Unlike the previous group of drugs, which acted mainly on the vascular mechanism, and improved cognitive function, memory and attention by optimizing arterial and capillary blood flow, a group of nootropic drugs acts in a different way. They improve the nutrition of the neurons themselves, without particularly interfering with the blood circulation. Improving the trophism of nerve cells leads to an improvement in the quality of the functioning of their membranes, synaptic transmission.
Akatinol Memantine
Rating: 4.9
Akatinol Memantine, even in the nootropic genus, stands apart. The active substance is an antagonist, or blocker of the so-called NMDA receptors, which regulate the glutamate exchange system in the brain. As a result of the blockade of these receptors, the potential of calcium channels decreases, the membranes of neurons stabilize, the nerve impulse is transmitted better, and patients' cognitive processes are improved.
Akatinol Memantine improves daily activity, which is especially important in patients with dementia. Among the indications for the drug in the first place - dementia, as Alzheimer's disease, and vascular disorders. Real Alzheimer's disease is not as common, but vascular disorder, leading to cognitive impairment in the elderly, is very common. In our country, the diagnosis of vascular dementia is rarely made, most often usually in the ambulatory map it is written: “cerebral atherosclerosis”, or “chronic cerebral ischemia”, “hypertensive encephalopathy”. Sometimes it is possible to meet an outdated diagnosis with which modern neurology fights: “dyscirculatory encephalopathy”. But these are essentially synonyms that can lead to vascular dementia.
Acathinol Memantine is taken with food, for 1 week - 5 mg per day, second week - 10 mg, third - 20 mg. The maximum daily dose is 30 mg. It is very important to remember that you can only increase the dose weekly.
Akatinol Memantin is produced by the German company Merz Pharma, and this tool is quite expensive in the ranking of drugs for the brain. 30 tablets on 10 mg costs, on average, 1670 rubles. This means that this package will last for about 10 days, starting from the third week of administration, when three tablets are applied daily. At the very beginning of the treatment, the pills will last for about 2 weeks.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of Memantine is a highly specialized drug that is indicated specifically for the treatment of dementia, and it has an international evidence base. However, an elderly patient taking this drug should be monitored by a doctor, since there may be side effects. Most often there is a headache, drowsiness, a tendency to constipation and dizziness. The word "often" implies that the incidence of side effects exceeded 10%. In addition, special care should be exercised in the appointment of Memantine to patients with thyrotoxicosis.
Biotredin (pyridoxine + threonine)
Rating: 4.8
Biotredin is a modified vitamin B6 that is needed for the metabolism of brain tissue and L-threonine, or a vital amino acid. In the presence of vitamin B6, it is converted to glycine and a small amount of acetaldehyde. It is known that acetaldehyde in large doses causes severe symptoms of a hangover, due to the incomplete conversion of ethyl alcohol in the liver. But its ultramicroscopic amount, which enters the brain tissue, stimulates inhibitory processes, improves the oxidation and reduction reactions, cellular respiration and ATP synthesis. As a result, Biotredin reduces anxiety and tension, improves memory, enhances mental performance.
In addition, the drug has more important indications. By adjusting the amount of acetaldehyde that affects the brain, the tool is able to reduce the symptoms of a hangover, or withdrawal syndrome, as well as reduce craving for alcoholic beverages. It is important that the effect after taking Biotredin develops quickly, within 20 minutes after resorption of sublingual tablets.
To use this tool to improve brain activity should be one tablet three times a day for 10 days. If we are talking about the treatment of chronic alcoholism, then Biotredin is taken as part of complex therapy up to 10 tablets per day, for 5 days. Official instructions are advised to apply Biotredin together with glycine, then the effect of the drug will be greatest. Biotredin is produced by the domestic pharmaceutical company Biotics, and these tablets are inexpensive: one pack of 30 tablets for sucking under the tongue costs only 120 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of Biotredin is its low cost, as well as the ability to obtain different effects depending on the dosage.In a low dose, it is an improvement in brain activity, memory and attention, an improvement in mental abilities, an increase in mental performance. In higher dosages, it is a drug for the treatment of chronic alcoholism, and when taken on an empty stomach, it can even in large doses contribute to the appearance of a teturam-like reaction, which is expressed in facial flushing, difficulty breathing, and thus helps identify latent craving for alcohol.
Gliatilin, Cerepro, Tsereton (choline alfoscerat)
Rating: 4.7
Gliatilin is a drug that contains choline alfoscerate, and its function is to form part of the cellular neural membranes. Improving the function of the membranes leads to better isolation of the nerve fibers, as myelin becomes more qualitative. The nerve impulse is carried out without loss, and more fully. In addition, a cholinomimetic effect is manifested, and cholinergic transmission is stimulated, which is best known as neuromuscular.
Gliatilin is indicated for use in patients with acute concussion, and in more severe injuries with damage to the brain stem, in chronic vascular cerebrovascular disease, in disorders of memory and attention, in various forms of dementia. It is used in the complex treatment of ischemic stroke, but only in the recovery period.
It is necessary to accept means inside, on one capsule 3 times a day, treatment course long - from 3 to 6 months. Italian company Italfarmaco produces Gliatilin, and one pack of 14 capsules, which is enough for four days, costs 740 rubles. As a result, it turns out that one capsule costs 52 rubles. At the minimum three-month course you need 90 capsules, or 4750 rubles. Thus, the monthly course will cost 1600 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of Gliatilin will be the ability to use it in the acute period of traumatic brain injury, since the drug is also available in solution for parenteral administration: intramuscular or intravenous. It is easily transferred, and improves the functioning of cholinergic structures of the brain, helps to recover faster from head injuries, prevents the formation of cysts. However, it cannot be used during pregnancy and in lactating women, as well as in case of individual intolerance. From the side effects only nausea is known, and if it occurs, then it is necessary to reduce the dosage: one or two capsules per day.
Nooclerin (deanol aceglumate)
Rating: 4.6
Nooclerin is a little-known nootropic agent consisting of acetylglutamic acid and deanol. Its distinctive feature is the form of release: it is a yellowish or pink liquid with a special smell. Its components are compounds very close to the natural metabolites of the brain. These are glutamic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid. Their reception stimulates memory, improves mental processes, protects neurons, and the physical and physical activity of patients increases. Nooclerin is able to improve concentration, helps to calm down with neurosis, in elderly patients contributes to the development of sociability with loved ones, prevents their closure in itself. Also, the tool is successfully used for alcohol withdrawal, during the recovery period after traumatic brain injury.
Apply the drug in one measuring spoon, or a dose of 5 ml 3 times a day. It is important that the evening reception should be no later than 4 hours before bedtime, since the remedy has an activating effect. The drug is used in children only over 12 years old, it is produced by the domestic company Ecochim - Innovations, and a bottle of 100 ml of 20% solution costs 425 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
Nouklerin has the ability not only to improve brain metabolism after head injuries, but also memory and attention processes in children with mild forms of mental retardation, and this is very important. Also, the drug acts very quickly, because it is taken in liquid form, and within an hour after taking it is found in the brain tissues. Recently, convincing evidence has emerged that Nooklerin is indicated in case of indisposition and fatigue associated with mental overstrain.
Nootropil, lucetam (piracetam)
Rating: 4.5
Piracetam, or Nootropil, is considered to be a classic nootropic drug. It has been used for many years, and neurologists, pediatricians and general practitioners have a large evidence base. This tool, which improves the transmission of nerve impulses, promotes increased nutrition of neurons, helps a little to improve capillary blood flow, and does not cause vasodilation. Nootropil improves attention and intelligence, accelerates the recovery of cognitive functions after meningitis and encephalitis, acute or chronic intoxication, and in other conditions. Nootropil is shown in all conditions, with the exception of dementia. With dementia, it is necessary to influence other mechanisms of its occurrence, and then it is better to use Akatinol Memantine. Nootropil inside is applied, in an average dosage - on 3-6 capsules a day divided into two or three receptions. This dosage is necessary for the treatment of memory disorders and cognitive impairment. Nootropil is produced by the Belgian company USB-Pharma, and a pack of 30 tablets of 800 mg will cost 270 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of Nootropil will be its ability to be used both in the elderly and in pediatric practice. The fact that it additionally has an antiplatelet effect will be very useful in people with a tendency to thrombosis. Nootropil can be used for quite a long time, including in elderly patients. The only thing that needs to be remembered is the correction of the dose of Nootropil if the patient has high creatinine in the blood and has a diagnosis of chronic renal failure. If the patient has an abnormal liver function, then he does not need dose adjustment. Symptoms of overdose also not revealed.
The best psycho stimulating and sedative for the brain
Finally, it is impossible to dismiss the drugs that can be used in short-term courses, without any serious diseases, without symptoms of dementia, without the consequences of severe head injuries and stroke. For example, the same Glycine helps to fall asleep quickly and quietly, and sleep without waking up. It modulates the physiological sleep due to the inhibitory effect on GABA - the ergistic braking system of the brain. The simplest caffeine sodium benzoate, which is sold in pharmacies, can replace a cup of strong coffee, it can be taken if there is a sleepless night drive ahead of you. There are many such situations.
Enerion (sulbutiamine)
Rating: 4.9
Enerion is a drug that contains one active ingredient: sulbutiamine, whose role is to regulate metabolic and biochemical processes in the central nervous system. This drug is for adults only, and is an artificial, modified thiamine molecule, or vitamin B1. The modification allowed this synthetic substance to dissolve more easily in fats and accumulate in the subcortical structures of the brain. These are the hippocampus, reticular formation, Purkinje cells, located in the structures of the cerebellum.
Enerion is shown, above all, with overwork and weakness with a decrease in performance. The drug is taken daily, 2-3 tablets in two doses, in the morning and at lunch. In the evening, the tool does not apply. The course of treatment should not exceed the duration of 1 month, and after a month of admission Enerion must be canceled. Thus, Enerion is a purely psychostimulant, but extremely light and soft.It is available without a prescription, and other psychostimulants, for example, Sydnokarb, are already a prescription drug. Enerion is produced by the French company Servier, and a pack of 20 tablets will cost 385 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of this drug is over-the-counter leave, although it is a psychostimulant. But he does it so delicately that it can be used as a means of prevention, especially when there is a serious mental load. It can be long, for a day driving a car, including at night, preparing for exams, and other similar situations.
However, it must be remembered that with an overdose excitement may occur, euphoria will appear, which passes easily and the drug is not addictive. Do not use the tool for pregnant and lactating women, as well as children under 18 years due to lack of necessary data.
Caffeine sodium benzoate
Rating: 4.8
Caffeine sodium benzoate can be called "coffee in a dry form." This is pure caffeine, which enters the body in the form of highly soluble salt - sodium benzoate. Caffeine is a classic example of analeptic, cardiotonic, and mild psychostimulant. It activates the structure of the central nervous system, increases the excitability of the spinal cord, stimulates the respiratory center, and all the excitation processes in the cerebral cortex are more pronounced. Performance increases, both physically and mentally.
Caffeine is able to reduce both pathological and normal, physiological drowsiness, strengthens the work of the heart, and dilates the blood vessels of the muscles. It has a diuretic effect, and everyone knows this “toilet” effect after a large cup of strong coffee.
Caffeine sodium benzoate is shown to individuals after serious diseases, in a state of asthenia and cerebrostia, when there is drowsiness, lethargy, and reflex reflexion. In some cases, caffeine-sodium benzoate can be used to improve performance, both physical and mental. And in this sense, this drug can also be indispensable when preparing for exams, and during prolonged visual load.
However, it should be remembered that caffeine does not improve the function of the nervous system and does not reduce the symptoms of dementia, does not eliminate the organic defect, if there is an initial disorder of attention and memory. Take caffeine preferably one tablet 2 times a day, or three times a day, if it should cause "planned insomnia" and the continuation of the working day until late. But you can not exceed the dose of 4 tablets per day.
This is an affordable drug produced by the domestic pharmaceutical factory Tatkhimpharmpreparaty, and 10 tablets of 100 milligrams worth only 54 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
The lack of caffeine is the fact that little is known about it, it is in low demand. It is cheap, sold without a prescription, and is able to tone up no worse than a cup of coffee. However, this tool should not be taken in the case of high blood pressure, in the presence of glaucoma, in the case of chronic insomnia. Also, long-term use of caffeine can lead to addiction, however, weak, and in no case incomparable with addiction to narcotic drugs. Nevertheless, coffee lovers with experience perfectly know that if you suddenly stop taking caffeine in your body, it is fraught with the development of lung withdrawal symptoms. The patient has a depressive state, drowsiness appears, and he, as they say, begins to “slow down”.
Phenibut (aminophenylbutyric acid)
Rating: 4.7
Phenibut, or aminophenylbutyric acid, is a nootropic drug that, on the contrary, calms, relieves anxious neurotic disorder, improves sleep and supports physiological sleep. In addition, Phenibut works well with dizziness, both peripheral and central.In any case, if the patient has any disorder of the vestibular function, or an inflammatory disease of the inner ear - labyrinthitis, then if there are indications and there are no contraindications, Phenibut can be assigned to it.
Since we are talking about neurotic disorders, anxiety, and taking Phenibut with the purpose of sedation, the drug is prescribed 2 to 3 times a day, one tablet for a half to two months. In the elderly, the dosage should be reduced to half a tablet. If it is necessary to use Phenibut to relieve a hangover, or withdrawal symptoms in alcoholism (there is such an indication), then 1 to 2 tablets are used 3 times a day, and at night - 3 tablets at once. Then the daily dosage, after a few days, drops to normal values. Phenibut is produced by Belmedpreparaty company from Belarus, and 20 tablets are inexpensive, about 100 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
A big plus of Phenibut is the ability to use it for various episodic dizziness, regardless of the cause of vestibulopathy. Thus, Phenibut can be used as a first-line tool even before an accurate diagnosis of the causes of dizziness, as a means of symptomatic therapy. In addition, it is well tolerated by the elderly, and relieves nighttime anxiety and insomnia in these individuals, without causing side effects. Phenibut can not be taken in patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure, or exacerbation of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, as well as erosive gastritis. In the event that an overdose occurs, drowsiness, nausea, and fatigue may occur. But if Phenibut is prescribed according to indications, and in a therapeutic dose, then it gently reduces anxiety and nervous irritability.
