This brand name is authorized in Ecuador
The drug CEREBRIN contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
1
Vitamin B12
UNII P6YC3EG204 - CYANOCOBALAMIN
|
Hydroxocobalamin is used in the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. For adults, the daily requirement of Vitamin B12 is probably about 1 to 2 micrograms and this amount is present in most normal diets. However, Vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products, not in vegetables, and therefore strict vegetarian or vegan diets that exclude dairy products may provide an inadequate amount, although a deficiency may not be apparent for many years. |
2
Folic acid
UNII 935E97BOY8 - FOLIC ACID
|
Folic acid is a member of the vitamin B group which is reduced in the body to tetrahydrofolate, a co-enzyme active in several metabolic processes and produces a haemopoietic response in nutritional megaloblastic anaemias. Folic acid is rapidly absorbed and widely distributed in body tissues. |
3
Vitamin B1
UNII X66NSO3N35 - THIAMINE
|
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the coenzymatic form of thiamine, is involved in two main types of metabolic reactions: decarboxylation of ฮฑ-ketoacids (e.g. pyruvate, ฮฑ-ketoglutarate and branched-chain keto acids) and transketolation (e.g. among hexose and pentose phosphates). Therefore, the principal physiological role of thiamine is as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, where TPP is required for several stages in the breakdown of glucose to provide energy. |
4
Pyridoxine
UNII KV2JZ1BI6Z - PYRIDOXINE
|
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is Vitamin B6. It is converted to pyridoxal phosphate which is the co-enzyme for a variety of metabolic transformations. It is essential for human nutrition. |
5
Ginkgo biloba
UNII 19FUJ2C58T - GINKGO
|
The exact mechanism of action of ginkgo biloba is not known. Human pharmacological data show increased EEG vigilance in geriatric subjects, reduction in blood viscosity and improved cerebral perfusion in specific areas in healthy men (60-70 years) and reduction in platelet aggregation. Additionally, vasodilating effects on forearm blood vessels causing increased regional blood flow are shown. |
6
Glutamic acid hydrochloride
UNII 3KX376GY7L - GLUTAMIC ACID
|
Glutamic acid is a non-essential aminoacid used in biosynthesis of proteins. Besides being a building block of proteins, glutamic acid plays a principal role in neural activation. Glutamate is also responsible for the umami (savory) flavor of certain foods. In medicine, glutamate is used as a metabolic supplemnet in patients undergoing coronary surgery. |
7
Choline
UNII 6K2W7T9V6Y - CHOLINE BITARTRATE
|
|
8
Sodium glycerophosphate
UNII RCS9EQ01V4 - SODIUM GLYCEROPHOSPHATE
|
|
