Nicergoline and Vinpocetine are used as cognitive enhancers.
How Nicergoline and Vinpocetine Work Nicergoline and Vinpocetine is a combination of two medicines: Nicergoline and Vinpocetine. Nicergoline is a semi-synthetic ergoline derivative that induces vasodilation and increases arterial blood flow to the brain. This enhances neurotransmission function, which improves brain activity. It also possesses antioxidant properties that help protect nerves from damage caused by harmful toxins known as free radicals. Vinpocetine is a nootropic alkaloid that acts as a neuroprotective agent, reducing damage to the brain from ischemia, stroke, and trauma. Additionally, it enhances memory and increases brain metabolism.
Common side effects of Nicergoline and Vinpocetine include nausea, upset stomach, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), and hot flashes.
