This medication is used to improve various symptoms related to cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders and brain nutrient disorders due to reduced cerebral vascular function. For example, it helps alleviate mental and neurological symptoms such as memory decline, dizziness, headache, visual impairment, anxiety, and depression. It is also effective against vascular damage and nutrient disorders caused by peripheral arterial circulation disorders, such as atherosclerotic vascular conditions and peripheral artery occlusive diseases. This medication alleviates symptoms and promotes overall vascular health by vasodilation and improving blood circulation. It helps improve vascular function in patients, enhancing their quality of life.

Precautions

This medication is provided in injection form, and caution must be taken when opening the container as there is a risk of glass fragments being mixed in. Special care should be taken when used by children or the elderly. This medication should not be used by those with hypersensitivity or a history of such reactions, and should be avoided by pregnant women or those who could become pregnant. Patients with bleeding disorders or those taking medications that increase bleeding risk, as well as those scheduled for surgery, should exercise caution when using this medication. Gastrointestinal disturbances may occur rarely, and allergic individuals may experience symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, heat sensation, and irregular heartbeats. In some patients, symptoms such as pain in the extremities, fever, chills, or shock may also appear. Symptoms such as fatigue, chronic airway obstruction, leg edema, and symptoms similar to angina may arise, so it is important to consult a physician immediately if these symptoms occur. Severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, have been reported, so it is crucial to inform medical staff immediately if any abnormal symptoms arise during use. Breastfeeding women are advised to avoid this medication, as it is unclear if the components pass into breast milk. Lastly, this medication is known not to affect blood sugar control, so diabetic patients can use it relatively safely.
