Correction of cholinergic deficiency in patients with vascular dementia

The efficacy of the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor reminil was studied in vascular dementia (VD). Eighty-four (54 men and 30 women) patients aged 60-85 years with the verified diagnosis of VD were followed up. Their mean age was 65±4,3 years; the mean duration of VD after its diagnosis was 2,3 yea...

description The efficacy of the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor reminil was studied in vascular dementia (VD). Eighty-four (54 men and 30 women) patients aged 60-85 years with the verified diagnosis of VD were followed up. Their mean age was 65±4,3 years; the mean duration of VD after its diagnosis was 2,3 years (that after firstly detected VD was less than 4 years). Primary examination before therapy showed that all the patients had cognitive disorders characteristic of VD concurrent with varying motor disorders. Reminil showed a significant effect against the symptoms of VS within 1,5-2 months after initiation of its administration and when the therapeutic effect of the drug was achieved. Improved cognitive functions were preserved during a 12-month follow-up. Owing to its double mechanism of action, reminil is active against cognitive and behavioral disorders in a wide circle of patients with dementia, well tolerated, and causes no serious adverse reactions.
