What is Cognitol (Vinpocetine) used for?

Cognitol (Vinpocetine) is a supplement derived from the periwinkle plant used to increase brain function by increasing blood flow to the brain. When taken daily it may help concentration, strengthen memory, and allow easier focus. This function may also make it useful for preserving cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer`s disease or Parkinson`s disease. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Cognitol (Vinpocetine)?

These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach. A meal or snack may be recommended if you experience nausea. Never change the form of the tablets by splitting or crushing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
