Excipients: Includes maize starch, lactose monohydrate, glucose, talc, magnesium stearate, sucrose, povidone, beeswax, polysorbate 80, titanium dioxide (E171), sunset yellow FCF (E110), sodium bicarbonate, sodium carmellose, ethylcellulose, colloidal silica, etc. Form: Coated oral tablet. Therapeutic Class Class: Central nervous system stimulant / Vitamin B1 derivative (nootropic/antiasthenic). Mechanism of Action Arcalion contains sulbutiamine, a fat-soluble synthetic derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1). It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is thought to increase thiamine levels in the brain, which helps enhance central nervous system activity, reduce fatigue, and improve mental and physical performance.. Indications (Uses) Arcalion 200 mg is prescribed for: ✔ Asthenia (physical and mental fatigue / weakness) — improves energy, stamina, and alertness. ✔ Temporary fatigue or reduced activity states in adults. Depending on doctor’s guidance, it may also be used as an adjunct in certain cognitive or neurological conditions (e.g., memory issues), though primary use is for fatigue. Dosage & Administration Route: Oral. Typical Adult Dose: 2 to 3 tablets per day (total 400–600 mg daily), usually divided between morning and midday meals. Duration: Treatment is generally limited to short-term courses (up to ~4 weeks), or as directed by a physician. Take with food to reduce possible gastrointestinal discomfort. Arcalion 200mg (sulbutiamine) is primarily used to treat asthenia, a condition of persistent weakness and fatigue, improving energy, alertness, physical resistance, and intellectual performance. It's also prescribed as supportive therapy for issues like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's dementia, memory loss, and psychogenic erectile dysfunction, by increasing thiamine levels in the brain. Asthenia (Fatigue): Treats generalized tiredness, lack of motivation, and apathy. Cognitive Support: Helps with memory and daily functioning in Alzheimer's disease. Neurological Conditions: Used for fatigue in Parkinson's disease and after head injuries. Psychological Balance: Aids in improving psychological well-being and physical resistance. How it Works: Contains sulbutiamine, a synthetic derivative of Vitamin B1 (thiamine). Increases thiamine levels in the brain, providing mild stimulant effects and improving nerve function.
