Inosine/Nicotinamide/Vitamin B2/Succinic acid

It is known that the acute period of stroke occurs is accompanied by oxidative stress, when intense generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a toxic effect, which causes oxidative degradation of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids. Antioxidants may have a positive effect on the processes of reparation, remodeling and neuroplasticity, thus improving the effectiveness of post-stroke rehabilitation. The adjunctive use of drug therapy that improves neuroplasticity may promote accelerated motor learning, which underlies the effects of exercise therapy and physical therapy, speech therapy, and sessions with a psychologist or occupational therapist. CYTOFLAVIN® is a combination of succinic acid, riboflavin, nicotinamide and inosine (riboxin) which has antihypoxic and antioxidant effects. The study hypothetizes that this neurometabolic drug will facilitate learning in stroke survivors and help to acquire new cognitive or motor skills necessary for daily living. The study will be conducted in two parallel groups of stroke survivors: the experimental group will be treated with Cytoflavin along with ohysical rehabilitation, the control group will receive standard rehabilitation course.

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Cytoflavin®, solution for intravenous administration, (OOO NTFF POLYSAN, Russia) for 10 days, patients with cerebral infarction who receive reperfusion therapy, with the start of treatment within the first 24 hours from the stroke onset, compared to treament with any other neuroprotective drug which may be used in routine clinical practice.
