GM-1 (Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside)

INTRODUCTION
GM-1 is a naturally occurring substance found in the brain. It was isolated by Prof E. Klenk in 1942 and the name "Gangliosides" was proposed by Prof Klenk to reflect their nature and apparent localization in the ganglion cells of the brain. Later in 50's and 60's, Prof Klenk and his co-workers determined the detailed chemical structure of a ganglioside. With improved isolation and purification procedures, to-date, more than 60 different gangliosides have been discovered in brain, brain tissues and body fluids

GM-1 has been shown to re-establish functional recovery of central nervous system structures that have suffered damage of various origins. The basic mechanism for this effect is the phenomenon of the neuroplasticity (neuronal survival, neuritogenesis and synaptogenesis). Protective effects on secondary neuronal degeneration after brain injury were reported. Cerebral haemodynamic parameters and post-lesional oedema formation were found to be favourably influenced by GM-1 administration. Improvements were seen, in experiments, of behaviour disorders in Parkinson's disease.

INDICATIONS
Lesions of central nervous system due to vascular or traumatic events, Parkinson's disease.



  Millibar (Indapamide)

INTRODUCTION
Indapamide belongs to the group of medicines known as diuretics. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.

Indapamide is also used to help reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine

INDICATIONS
Essential hypertension
