AbstractCerebrolysin is a nootropic drug that directly affects cerebral neurons due to its unique neurotrophic activities. The article evaluated the efficacy and safety of cerebrolysin in patients with mild to moderately severe vascular dementia. Cerebrolysin leads to fast and clinically relevant improvement in some areas of cognitive function in patients with vascular dementia. There were no significant side effects observed during cerebrolysin treatment.
