Uses of Hydergine Tablet
Benefits of Hydergine Tablet
In Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. HYDERGINE 1 MG TABLET helps improve blood supply and nerve activity in the brain, which may slow mental decline and support better memory function. This can help patients maintain daily activities for longer.
In Stroke
Stroke happens when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked or reduced, causing brain cells to lose oxygen and get damaged. HYDERGINE 1 MG TABLET helps improve blood circulation in the brain, which may support recovery and reduce further damage. This can aid in regaining movement, speech, and memory after a stroke.
In Dementia in Parkinson's disease
Dementia in Parkinson’s disease occurs when brain changes from Parkinson’s affect memory, thinking, and decision-making. HYDERGINE 1 MG TABLET improves brain blood flow and nerve function, which may support mental clarity and slow worsening of symptoms. This helps improve the quality of life in affected individuals.
