Description

INTRODUCTION
COGNITRAC 60MG contains Cerebroprotein Hydrolysate which belongs to the group of medicines called Neurotrophic agents.

Cerebroprotein hydrolysate is a neurotrophic agent which works by protecting the nerve cells from toxins and lack of oxygen thus improving its survival rate.
