Drug Information
5 reviews for Piracetam (Nootropil)
Nootropil contains Piracetam.
Piracetam is a medicine used in some countries to treat myoclonus, a condition with sudden, jerky muscle movements that come from the brain.
It is also sold as a "nootropic" said to help memory and thinking, but good evidence for this is lacking. It is not approved in the USA.
What is it used for?
- Cortical myoclonus (sudden jerky movements), together with other treatments
- Memory problems in older people (in some countries, limited evidence)
How does it work?
Piracetam's exact action is not fully understood. It is thought to help nerve cells communicate better and improve the flexibility of cell membranes.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not take it if you have severe kidney problems, bleeding in the brain, or Huntington's disease.
- It may increase bleeding risk. Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
- Do not stop taking it suddenly if you use it for myoclonus, as jerks can get worse.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Nootropil can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Feeling nervous or restless
- Weight gain
- Drowsiness
- Feeling sick or diarrhoea
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Unusual bleeding or bruising
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling or trouble breathing
- Feeling very low or confused
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it 2 or 3 times a day, with or without food.
- For myoclonus, doctors start at 7.2 g a day and may go higher. For other uses, doses are often 2.4 g to 4.8 g a day.
- Swallow the tablet with water.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
