Neuroprotectors are a group of drugs and biologically active substances aimed at protecting nerve cells from damage and maintaining their functionality. These drugs have a protective effect on neurons, prevent their death and promote the restoration of nervous tissue. Neuroprotectors are used to improve memory, stamina, brain performance, and to treat and prevent neurological diseases. They can have antioxidant, antihypoxic, antineurotoxic effects, improve metabolism and blood supply in nervous tissue.
The mechanism of action of neuroprotectors is diverse and depends on the specific drug. Some of them improve metabolism in nerve cells, others block pathways that lead to cell death or stimulate regenerative processes in the nervous system. It is important that the prescription and use of neuroprotectors should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor, since the effectiveness and safety of drugs depend on the individual characteristics of the patient and the nature of the disease. Neuroprotectors can be used both in monotherapy and in combination with other drugs to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
