Abstract:
Thirty-four outpatients with moderate cognitive impairment were treated with one of standard extracts of Ginkgo Biloba - EGb761 (memoplant). Memoplant was used in high dosages (240 mg daily) twice a day during three months. Patients were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the hospital depression scale and QoL questionnaire EQ5d as well as standard neurological and somatic examination. A statistical analysis of data revealed a significant improvement in most measures, mostly in attention, memory, orientation and visual-spatial/ executive functions as well as in anxiety and depression. The drug is well-tolerated and is recommended for practical use.
