Abstract
Changes in the electro-encephalogram, and in the electro-oculogram electromyogram, ECG, blood supply, blood pressure, electrical skin activity and neurological/psychiatric findings, were investigated in 100 patients given single administrations of 200 mg of pentoxifylline (BL 191). It is concluded from the changes in the EEG wave patterns that pentoxifylline produces a beneficial effect on the cerebral processes contributing to bio-electrical brain activity. Pentoxifylline can be classed as a substance with microcirculatory/metabolic effects on the brain, which lead to stimulation of psychomotor behaviour.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
