Selank nasal drops 0.15% (3ml)

Selank is a synthetic analogue of endogenic peptide tuftsin that provides neurospecific effects on central nervous system. Specifically, it connects to nervous cells membranes.

Selank affects monoamine transmission in emotiongenic cerebrum part (hypothalamus, interbrain, cortex) and activity of the cerebrum’s tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase.

The medication shows tropism to serotonergic activity by normalizing serotonin levels in cerebrum when serotonin level has been artificially decreased. Selank stabilizes excitement emotions and deferred reactions in cerebrum and increases cortex neurons resistance to intensive workloads.

Selank decreases or fully relieves stress, anxiety and nervousness:

• Irritation
• Emotional misbalance
• Worrying
• Nervousness
• Apathy

Selank restores balance in cerebrum parts that are responsible for anxiety and depression. It has antiasthenic properties. It is a non-drowsy medication that can be used during driving. It can be taken with other medications as well.
