Tenaspec is available in the form of softgels with ingredients including Choline alfoscerate and excipients such as gelatin, glycerin, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, sorbitol, titanium dioxide, ethyl vanillin, red iron oxide and yellow iron oxide. The main active ingredient of Tenaspec is Choline alfoscerate with a concentration of 800mg in each tablet. It affects the brain and nervous system. The drug is used to treat patients with a history of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and intellectual impairment in diseases such as Alzheimer's.So what does Tenaspec do? Choline alfoscerate or glycerylphosphorylcholine is a natural prodrug of acetylcholine - a neurotransmitter of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. They are found in the human brain and can now be synthesized chemically. Many current clinical studies on a large enough scale have been able to see the positive effects of Choline alfoscerate on:
Neurotransmission in the Cholinergic system. Adjusting synaptic transmission helps to enhance memory, limit memory decline. Increases the softness and connectivity of neurons. Increases nerve perception and enhances muscle mobility. The drug Tenaspec accelerates the synthesis of acetylcholine and phospholipids of the neuronal membrane. Therefore, it can prevent neurological complications and improve cognition and memory. Promote the process of nerve function recovery due to profound damage to the brain such as age, stroke, after traumatic brain injury, chronic vascular disease or cerebrovascular accident.
With the above use, Tenaspec is indicated for use in the following cases:
Help treat acute stroke and restore body function after stroke. Helps to treat the effects of traumatic brain injury, restore nerves after impacts and be affected during surgery. In cases of dementia and cognitive impairment. Frequent manifestations of dizziness, dizziness, headache, excessive anxiety, nervous disorders. Partial or complete brain failure, memory impairment, confusion are common in middle-aged and elderly people related to Alzheimer's disease. Impairment of body functions related to the ability to move, hear and see due to reduced blood flow to nourish tissues and organs. Prevention and treatment of 'intermittent lame syndrome' associated with hearing disorders caused by blocked arteries supplying the ear. Tenaspec will help increase blood flow to the inner ear area and significantly reduce the amount of fluid in the inner ear. Prevent recurrence and worsening of symptoms of Meniere's disease. Tenaspec is contraindicated for the following subjects:
