Summary:
the use of Mexidol in a basic dose of 100 mg/day intramuscularly for 10 days is effective in the treatment of mild CITs, which is confirmed by positive neurological dynamics. In patients with a severe CCT, it is more advisable to use a 10-day treatment regimen with a mexidol at a dose of 200 mg/day intramuscularly with the subsequent transition to orally in a dose of 0.25 g 2 times a day for 4 weeks. Due to the good tolerance and the possibilities of intramuscular administration, Mexidol is an urgent drug in outpatient practice for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients of different age groups with the CCT.
