Description

Indications

Piracetam is a synthetic compound produced in a laboratory setting. It functions as a medication aimed at enhancing memory and cognitive capabilities. Its primary applications include addressing breath-holding episodes, managing epilepsy-related seizures, alleviating vertigo, aiding individuals with dyslexia – a reading impairment, and mitigating tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder frequently linked to antipsychotic medications. Piracetam is also employed in treating conditions like dementia, schizophrenia, sickle cell disease, and various other ailments. However, for several of these applications, substantial scientific validation is lacking.

Uses and Dosage

Adhere to the prescribed regimen of this medication as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for your specific needs, and this information will be prominently displayed on the medication label provided by your pharmacist.

For adults, the recommended initial dose is 7.2 grams daily, equivalent to nine tablets. It’s advisable to divide this dosage into two or three separate administrations throughout the day. This typically involves taking 3 tablets in the morning, 3 at midday, and 3 in the evening.

Your doctor might advise a gradual escalation of the dosage to ensure it effectively addresses your condition.

In terms of administration, swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Refrain from breaking or chewing the tablets due to the bitter taste of piracetam. If swallowing proves challenging, inform your doctor, as they can provide an alternative solution form of piracetam.

If you’re elderly or have kidney issues, your doctor may adjust the dosage to suit your circumstances.

In case of accidentally consuming more piracetam tablets than prescribed, seek immediate medical attention by visiting the nearest hospital casualty department or contacting your doctor.

If you happen to miss a dose of piracetam, avoid doubling the next dose to compensate. Instead, resume the regular dosing schedule as intended.

Lastly, discontinuing the use of piracetam abruptly is not advisable. Prior to ceasing usage, have a discussion with your doctor, as suddenly stopping the medication could lead to involuntary muscle movements and spasms.

Caution

Before considering the use of piracetam, there are several important factors to take into account. If you have allergies to piracetam or any of the other components listed in section 6 of the medication’s details, it is not advisable to take these tablets.

If you are considering the use of piracetam, have a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist beforehand. This is particularly important if you suspect that your kidneys might not be functioning optimally, as a lower starting dose could be necessary. Individuals who have a history of bleeding problems should also communicate this to their healthcare provider before taking the medication.

Before using piracetam, inform your doctor or pharmacist about any other medications you are currently taking, have recently taken, or are planning to take. This includes prescription medications as well as over-the-counter drugs. Specifically, if you are using thyroid extract or thyroxine, anticoagulants like warfarin or aceno-coumarol, low-dose aspirin, or any other medicines, make sure to disclose this information to your healthcare provider.

For individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, suspect they might be pregnant, or are planning to conceive, seeking advice from a doctor or pharmacist before using Nootropil Tablets is essential. If you are currently using this medication, it is recommended to use contraception to prevent pregnancy. Should you be taking piracetam and suspect that you might be pregnant, consult your doctor promptly.

Piracetam could potentially lead to drowsiness and shakiness. If you experience these side effects, it is advised not to operate machinery or drive, as it might compromise your safety.
