Abstract
There are many drugs offered on the market to protect brain against ischemic damage and to improve brain function after ischemic attacks. Calcium antagonists and calcium-entry blockers are a group of drugs which seems to be most prominent in this respect. Therefore, the discussion of the effects to calcium-entry blockers assumes a large part of this presentation, although certain other drugs will also be discussed.
