Mechanism of action

Edaravone acts as a potent free radical scavenger, particularly targeting hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite that accumulate during ischemic stroke. Dexborneol, a monoterpene alcohol, enhances neuroprotection by improving microcirculation and reducing cerebral edema. Together, they work synergistically to limit ischemic damage and promote neurological recovery in acute stroke.
