Cuba is developing a treatment to protect people after suffering strokes with a drug called CIGB-845.


CIGB-845 is intended to protect the affected tissue after a stroke.

Doctor Diana Garcia, Head of Neuroprotection Project at Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, stated that this constitutes a therapeutic alternative, which combines epidermal growth factor (EGF) and growth hormone-releasing peptide 6 (GHRP6) for the treatment of neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases.

A phase I/II clinical study in patients with acute cerebral infarction has been performed.

The results obtained so far are gratifying regarding reducing disability suffered by cerebral infarction aftermaths, affirmed Garcia.

3. I hope this is one that you don't have to take within a certain amount of time for it to work.

When my mom had her stroke it was in the middle of the night and she was alone. Her neighbor noticed her the next day acting strangely but it was too late to give her steroids to stop the swelling. She ended up with Aphasia - which is horrible.
