Benefits of Cognitam Injection
In Alzheimer's disease
Cognitam Injection improves learning, memory, and information processing (cognitive function) in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. These problems in memory and thinking may start interfering with daily activities and worsen your condition. This medicine will help in managing Alzheimer’s disease effectively. It will make it easier for you to carry out your daily activities and improve your quality of life. It can take several weeks for your symptoms to improve; so keep using the medicine even if you do not think it is working.
In Stroke
A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs due to damage to the brain. Cognitam Injection helps in speeding up the recovery process in patients who have undergone stroke. It decreases brain damage, promotes healing, and enhances the overall health of the patient.
In Dementia in Parkinson's disease
Dementia in Parkinson’s disease refers to problems in memory and thinking that are advanced, interfering with daily activities and quality of life. Cognitam Injection helps in managing these symptoms in a safe manner that can be used for the long term. This will make it easier for you to carry out your daily activities and improve your quality of life.
In Age related memory loss
Memory loss or forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things, they don't remember things well, or they keep things, like their glasses, and forget where they had kept them. Cognitam Injection helps to balance those chemicals in the brain that are responsible for memory. Also, it improves the blood supply to the brain. This helps to improve the health of the brain and enhances memory. This will make your life better.
