Nicerium uno
Nicerium uno Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
An ergot derivative that has been used as a cerebral vasodilator and in peripheral vascular disease. It has been suggested to ameliorate cognitive deficits in cerebrovascular disease.
Nicerium uno is a potent vasodilator (improves brain blood flow). On the cerebral level it prompts a lowering of vascular resistance, an increase in arterial flow and stimulates the use of oxygen and glucose. Nicerium uno also improves blood circulation in the lungs and limbs and has been shown to inhibit blood platelet aggregation.

Uses
Nicerium uno is an ergot derivative use for the treatment of symptoms associated with cerebrovascular abnormalities.
For the treatment of senile dementia, migraines of vascular origin, transient ischemia, platelet hyper-aggregability, and macular degeneration.
Nicerium uno is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Stroke, Ischemic, Transient Ischemic Attack, Peripheral vasodilatation
How Nicerium uno works
Nicerium uno acts by inhibiting the postsynaptic alpha(1)-adrenoceptors on vascular smooth muscle. This inhibits the vasoconstrictor effect of circulating and locally released catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), resulting in peripheral vasodilation. Therefore the mechanism of Nicerium uno is to increase vascular circulation in the brain, thereby enhancing the transmission of nerve signals across the nerve fibres, which secrete acetylcholine as a neural transmitter.
