Vinpocetine wordt gebruikt om het geheugen te verbeteren en het hersenmetabolisme te verhogen. Het wordt ook gebruikt bij ischemie en reperfusieschade, en wordt beschouwd als een neuroprotectief middel. Er zijn echter weinig robuuste klinische studies die het gebruik van vinpocetine bij beroerte, dementie of andere ziekten van het CZS ondersteunen.
