Introduction
The professional medical term for cerebral infarction is "cerebral infarction" (脑梗死), which is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by ischemic necrosis of brain tissue due to blockage of cerebral blood vessels. It can be treated with medications such as Nimodipine tablets, Atorvastatin Calcium tablets, Aspirin enteric-coated tablets, Edaravone injection, and Butylphthalide soft capsules under a doctor's guidance.

  The professional medical term for cerebral infarction is "cerebral infarction," an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by cerebral vascular occlusion leading to cerebral tissue ischemia and necrosis. Its occurrence is often associated with multiple factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and diabetes. Patients can use medications such as Nimodipine Tablets, Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets, Aspirin Enteric-coated Tablets, Edaravone Injection, and Butylphthalide Soft Capsules under a doctor's guidance. A detailed explanation is as follows:

  1. Nimodipine Tablets: Nimodipine Tablets are a type of cerebral vasodilator that can increase cerebral blood flow, improve cerebral blood supply, and promote the repair and recovery of cerebral tissue. During the recovery phase of cerebral infarction, it helps improve patients' cerebral function.

  2. Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets: This is a lipid-regulating medication that can lower blood lipid levels, stabilize plaques, reduce vascular endothelial injury, and thereby decrease the risk of recurrence of cerebral infarction. Lipid regulation therapy is an essential component during the recovery phase of cerebral infarction.

  3. Aspirin Enteric-coated Tablets: This medication is an antiplatelet agent that effectively inhibits platelet aggregation, prevents thrombus formation, and thus reduces the risk of recurrence of cerebral infarction. It is one of the basic treatment drugs during the recovery phase of cerebral infarction.

  4. Edaravone Injection: Edaravone is a neuroprotective drug that can reduce brain damage, protect brain cells, and promote the recovery of neurological function. In both the acute and recovery phases of cerebral infarction, edaravone has shown certain therapeutic effects.

  5. Butylphthalide Soft Capsules: This medication promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, improving microcirculation. It can increase cerebral blood flow, improve the ischemic and hypoxic state of cerebral tissue, and promote the recovery of neurological function after cerebral infarction. During the recovery phase of cerebral infarction, Butylphthalide Soft Capsules are commonly used as an adjunctive therapeutic medication.

  Patients should maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet, quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, exercise appropriately, and have regular follow-up visits to promote recovery.
