Abstract

Neurologic dysfunction resulting from stroke is diminished by administering to a patient an effective amount of a tetra-substituted pyrazine over a relatively continuous regimen. Conveniently, an initial bolus is administered to bring the level of the drug up to a pre-determined blood level, followed by continuous infusion employing a pump or by continuous intravenous infusion.
