It has dopaminergic, serotoninargic effect, reduces platelet and erythrocyte aggregation, reduces the permeability of the vascular wall, increases the number of functioning capillaries, improves blood circulation and metabolic processes in the brain, and increases the resistance of brain tissue to hypoxia.

Caffeine has a psychostimulating and analeptic effect, enhances the processes of excitation in the cerebral cortex – increases mental and physical performance, reduces fatigue and drowsiness, increases the reflex excitability of the spinal cord, stimulates the respiratory and vasomotor centers, and has a diuretic effect.

After oral administration of 8 mg of a-dihydroergocriptine, the maximum concentration (Cmax) is 227 pg / ml, and the half-life (t1 / 2) is less than 2 hours.
