Introduction of Alnert Dry Syrup, A cerebrovascular type psychiatric symptom improving agent
Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation
The Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation are proud to announce the introduction of Alnert Dry Syrup (a new form of Alnert), a cerebrovascular type psychiatric symptom improving agent. The scientific name for the product is bifemelane hydrocyloride.

The Alnert cerebrovascular type psychiatric symptom improving agent was developed byMitsubishi Chemical Corporation. It has been shown to be particularly effective in the treatment of decreased motivation due to the aftereffects of cerebral infarctions or encephalorrhagia. Alnert tablets and Alnert granules were introduced to the market in Dec. 1987.

Treatment for the cerebrovascular ailments such as cerebral infarctions and encephalorrhagia tends to be required for an extended period. Tablets are difficult to swallow for these patients and the granular form is bitter and difficult to take for the elderly. Alnert Dry Syrup was developed to reduce bitterness and make it easier for patients to take.

Mitsubishi Chemical produces this medicine, and promotion and sales are handled by Fujisawa Pharmaceutical.
