How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient acts primarily on the cerebral cortex. Thanks to its stimulating effect, it temporarily relieves symptoms of fatigue in tired people and increases performance. It also causes the cerebral vessels to constrict, which has a favourable effect on headaches and migraines. Taken together with painkillers, its pain-relieving effect should be supported.

Application

- Fatigue, for short-term treatment

The medicine should only be used if the symptoms of fatigue cannot be relieved in the short term by other measures, such as by eliminating the cause.
