What Are the Medications Used to Treat Sequelae of Cerebral Hemorrhage?

The main drugs for treating the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage include neurotrophic drugs, traditional Chinese medicines that improve cerebral circulation, and drugs that reduce muscle tone. Specific drugs depend on the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage. Generally, the first half year after the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage is the acute recovery period, and it is difficult to recover from the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage in the later stage. Therefore, after the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage, early treatment should be given to strive for early rehabilitation and avoid serious consequences caused by sequelae.

1. There are many drugs for treating the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, mainly neurotrophic drugs, such as citicoline sodium capsules and cerebroprotein hydrolysate tablets.

2. Some traditional Chinese medicines that improve cerebral circulation can be used, such as Danshen tablets, Naoxintong capsules, and Xuesetong capsules. Additionally, Angong Niuhuang Pill can also be used.

3. The most common cause of cerebral hemorrhage is hypertension. Therefore, if hypertension exists, antihypertensive drugs should be taken regularly to avoid recurrence.

4. For stiffness and rigidity of limbs, relevant drugs can be prescribed, such as baclofen tablets, to reduce muscle tension and relieve manifestations of stiffness.

5. For patients with difficulty in swallowing or coughing while drinking, stimulation such as cold or swallowing can be used to gradually restore swallowing function.

6. For patients with motor and sensory dysfunction, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be performed to help them restore corresponding motor and sensory functions.

Generally, after the acute recovery period of 6 months following cerebral hemorrhage, the chance of recovery from the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage is often very small. It is recommended that patients receive early rehabilitation after onset.
