Background and Date of Approval

Cerebroprotein hydrolysate belongs to the therapeutic class of neurotrophic agents.

Mechanism of Action of undefined

Cerebroprotein hydrolysate is believed to work by supporting the growth and survival of neurons (neurotrophic activity), protecting them from damage (neuroprotection), modulating neurotransmitters, enhancing synaptic plasticity for learning and memory, and regulating cellular metabolism in the brain.

Uses of undefined

Cerebroprotein hydrolysate is used in managing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and for supporting cognitive function in cases of age-related cognitive decline. Additionally, it is believed to have neuroprotective properties and shows promise in experimental therapeutic approaches for certain neurological conditions.

undefined Drug administaration and Dosage available

Cerebroprotein hydrolysate can be administered through various routes, including oral ingestion, intramuscular injection, and intravenous infusion. The specific route of administration may depend on the formulation, dosage, and the condition being treated. 

Warnings, Precautions and Side Effects of undefined

Warnings

Some individuals may be allergic to components of Cerebroprotein hydrolysate, leading to allergic reactions ranging from mild symptoms such as skin rash to severe reactions like anaphylaxis. Individuals may sometimes experience neurological effects, such as worsening existing neurological conditions or developing new neurological symptoms. Gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset, may occur in some individuals.

Precautions

Before starting Cerebroprotein hydrolysate, individuals should be evaluated for any history of allergies or hypersensitivity reactions. Any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, difficulty breathing, or gastrointestinal discomfort, should be immediately reported to a healthcare professional.
