Finally, the drug also has a very good protective effect on central nervous cells, which can prevent It is concluded that due to pathological, nerve cell damage caused by calcium ion overload,can effectively prevent abnormal discharge of central nervous cells.

The drug flunarizine has a very fast onset time,Generally two days after oral administration of the drug It can play a corresponding role in about an hour.

But if you want to achieve a long-term therapeutic purpose, you need to take fluocinine continuously It takes about four weeks for Lizine to achieve its effect.
