Done With Health Checkup. Can Cavinton, GABA And Soy Licithin Be Taken Together Without Conflict?
Question: Hi! Dr.- I am 46 and thinking about taking Cavinton (Vinpocetine) along with GABA and Soy Licithin. I just had a physical and my vitals are BP- 113/62, Pulse 76, Resp. 18 BrPM, Temp. 97.8, Wght 185, Hght 5ft 11in, BMI 25.7m2
Cholesterol 185 - 160 HDL, 15LDL and I am very active tennis player (6.5) rate. If Cavinton may cause sleepless nights, could GABA counter that effect and I want to bring in Licithin to help protect cells created/produced by the use of Cavinton. Do you see a conflict between the three supplements?
If approved, could you recommend proper dosage?
Thanks!

Hello,
Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for the your query.
Cavinton is contraindicated in heart diseases and hypertension.
Its side effects are low blood pressure and fast heart rate. It is unlikely to produce insomnia(Sleeplessness).
Insomnia may be produced by any of the cerebrovascular conditions you may be suffering from.
Gabapentin is mainly indicated in postherpetic neuralgia and epilepsy.
It is not the prefered drug for insomnia. So it may not help that much in insomnia.
Lecithin will help in improving transmission of nerve impulses and help in conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
In all the three drugs one can not prevent others toxicity or improve others efficacy.
Hope the answer helps you.
Pleased to answer other queries.
