inosine-diphosphate and Metabolic-Syndrome

Sixty patients were randomized to treatment with cytoflavin (n=30) or nootropil (n=30). Patients of the main group received cytoflavin along with standard treatment for correction of hemodynamics. The treatment scheme was as follows: intravenous injections during 10 days, tablets - from 11 to 35 days. The same scheme of treatment was used in the comparison group. The total duration was 35 days. Patients were assessed with NIHSS, the Rankin scale, the Barthel index, MMSE. MRI was used to verify ischemic lesions. The therapeutic efficacy of cytoflavin was significantly higher compared to nootropil in respect to the restoration of neurological functions and self-service abilities as well as to the reduction of cognitive deficit.
