FIELD: medicine, neurology, virology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to treatment of neurological diseases caused by herpes virus, such as Bell's paralysis, Hunt's disease, herpetic encephalitis accompanying with damage of cerebral nerves. Invention involves using 1,4-dihydropyridine blockers of calcium channels, such as felodipine, nifedipine, nimodipine, nisodipine being taken preferably in combination with herpes virus antagonist. Invention provides repairing damaged cerebral nerves by topical expanding arteriols and recovery of local microcirculation based on specific competitive interaction of definite groups of calcium blockers of 1,4-dihydropyridine type with vasoconstrictor endothelin.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.
