Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from vertebral basilar circulatory insufficiency (caused by cervical spondylosis), and I have been prescribed the tablet Vinpocetine. The problem is that I have rosacea on my face.
What is the best alternative way to enhance cognition if I cannot take the tablet Vinpocetine? How to manage my vertebrobasilar circulatory insufficiency without making my face burn? I am very worried.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
I suggest you take the tablet Donepezil (cholinesterase inhibitor). These drugs do not cause vasodilation. Regarding vertebrobasilar insufficiency, I suggest you take a tablet of Aspirin (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) 80 milligrams daily and statins if you have dyslipidemia.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thanks and regards.
