Abstract: Medicaments contain tetrahydro-pyrazolo (1,5-a) pyrimidine or 6,7-dihydro-5H-thiazolo (2,3-a) pyrimidine compounds (I) - (III). New medicaments contain pyrazolo- or thiazolo-pyrimidine compounds of formula (I) - (III) or their acid or base addition salts or solvates (specifically hydrates), in the form of racemates, pure stereoisomers (specifically enantiomers or diastereomers) or stereoisomer mixtures in any ratio.
