Overview
Nootropil 1200mg Tablet contains piracetam 1200mg, a nootropic agent (a cyclic derivative of the neurotransmitter GABA) used as part of the management of cortical myoclonus (as an add-on to other treatment), certain vestibular disorders causing vertigo, and cognitive symptoms following a stroke or head injury, as directed by a doctor.
Piracetam’s exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is thought to enhance communication between nerve cells by modulating glutamate (AMPA/NMDA) receptor activity, improve the fluidity of neuronal cell membranes, and improve blood flow in small vessels by increasing red blood cell flexibility, without significantly affecting blood pressure or heart rate.
How it Works
Piracetam is believed to act on neuronal and vascular tissue by increasing membrane fluidity and modulating glutamatergic neurotransmission, which supports nerve cell signalling. It also reduces red blood cell stiffness and platelet aggregation, improving microcirculation in the brain and other tissues, which may help explain its effects on myoclonus, vertigo, and post-stroke cognitive symptoms.
Directions for Use
Take Nootropil 1200mg Tablet with a glass of water, with or without food, at evenly spaced intervals through the day as instructed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it unless your pharmacist advises otherwise. Take the doses at consistent times each day to maintain steady levels in the body.
Dosage
The dose of Nootropil 1200mg Tablet varies widely by indication, ranging from about 1200mg to 4800mg daily given in 2-3 divided doses. Your doctor will determine the correct starting dose, any tapering schedule, and the duration of treatment for your specific condition, and doses are usually reduced in people with reduced kidney function.
