Cognivel Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'nootropics', primarily used to boost brain performance or wakefulness, enhance mood, and improve cognitive ability in persons dealing with neurodegenerative diseases like dementia of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson's disease. Neurodegenerative diseases mean the death of neurons that can affect a person's speech, memory, intelligence, movement, and much more.  Our brain is made of billions of neurons (cells in the brain) that communicate with each other to perform daily activities of the day. These neurons are closely connected, and even a small miscommunication in one area can affect brain activities resulting in neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer's disease, the brain cells degenerate and die, which causes a gradual decline in behavioural and social skills and thinking ability (dementia), which affects a person's ability to function independently. Parkinson’s disease is a central nervous system disorder affecting movement and locomotion. It causes stiffness, shaking, difficulty walking, coordination, and balance.

Cognivel Tablet contains Ginkgo biloba,  Piracetam, and Vinpocetine. Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow to the brain and acts as an antioxidant (natural substituent that slows down cell damage). Piracetam falls in the category of drugs called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. This drug increases the levels of a substance (acetylcholine) in the brain, which is involved in improving memory functioning by slowing down the breakdown of acetylcholine (a substance that allows nerves to communicate and is important for normal brain functioning). Vinpocetine works like a neuroprotective agent that minimizes damage to the brain. It also prevents the risk of blood clotting in the brain, which makes brain cells (neurons) die. All three drugs, in combination, improve a person's mood, memory, and thinking ability.
