Piracetam 400mg 60 pills

Piracetam (Piracetamum) is a nootropic agent which due to a direct effect on the brain improves cognitive (cognitive) processes, such as learning ability, memory, attention, and enhances mental performance. Piracetam affects the central nervous system in different ways: influencing the speed of propagation of excitation in the brain, improving metabolic processes in the nerve cells and improving microcirculation hemorheology, without causing vasodilating action. Piracetam inhibits platelet aggregation and restores erythrocyte membrane elasticity and reduces the adhesion of erythrocytes. At a dose of 9.6 g reduces levels of fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor by 30-40% and increases bleeding time. Piracetam has a protective and restorative action in violation of brain function due to hypoxia and intoxication, reduces the severity and duration of vestibular nystagmus.

Piracetam helps to restore cognitive disorders after cerebral functions as a result of hypoxia, intoxication or injury. Reduces the severity and duration of the vestibular nistagma. Piratsetam used in the treatment of cortical myoclonus as monoterapiiili in combination with anti myoclonic agents.
