What is Cholergol?
Cholergol is typically prescribed to treat the symptoms of senile dementia. The medication widens blood vessels to increase the flow of blood in the brain so that more oxygen and glucose can be transported and utilized by the brain cells. This is thought to improve brain function, aiding memory and reducing confusion. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to treat other unlisted conditions.
How is Cholergol used?
Cholergol should always be used exactly as prescribed by your health care provider. The typical regimen is one tablet, taken orally, once each day. It may be taken with or without food, but should be washed down with a full glass of water. Never crush, dissolve, or split the tablets to prevent the loss of its effects. It is also advisable to take your dosage at the same time(s) each day to maximize its effects.
Keep in mind that your particular dosage will be based on your symptoms, health condition, and response to previous treatments. It is also important to attend regular check-ups with your health care provider to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment during the course of treatment. Always follow these instructions to ensure the correct application of the medication.
