Active ingredient Piracetam 800mg Excipients: Sodium starch glycolate (DST) 50 mg, Lactose 80 mg, Povidon 8 mg, HPMC 23.4 mg, PEG 6000 3.5 mg, Talc 1.2 mg, Magnesium stearate 9.38 mg, Titanium dioxide 1.4 mg, Ethanol 96% 235.6 mg. 1.2. What disease does Kacetam treat? The use of the drug Kacetam is to help create excitement for the user, improve the ability to focus on learning, enhance memory due to the impact on some neurotransmitters such as noradrenalin, acetylcholine, dopamine ...
Support support convulsions, muscle vibrations originating from the cerebral cortex Symptoms of dementia, memory impairment, poor concentration, behavioral disorders in the elderly Dizziness, tinnitus, dizziness The use of the drug Kacetam It is considered a substance that improves nerve cell metabolism, although little is known about its specific effects and mechanism of action. Even the definition of nootropic mania is ambiguous. In general, the main effect of so-called manic drugs (such as: piracetam, oxiracetam, aniracetam, etiracetam, pramiracetam, tenilsetam, suloctidil, tamitinol) is to improve learning and memory. Many of these are considered to be more potent than piracetam in terms of learning and memory. It is thought that in normal people and in people with impaired function, piracetam acts directly on the brain to increase the activity of the cerebral cortex (a region of the brain involved in the mechanisms of cognition, learning, memory, alertness and consciousness).
Piracetam acts on a number of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine... This may explain the positive effect of the drug on learning and improve the ability to perform memory tests. Drugs can alter nerve transmission and contribute to improving the metabolic environment for nerve cells to function properly. In vitro, piracetam is protective against ischemic metabolic disorders by increasing the brain's resistance to hypoxia. Piracetam increases glucose mobilization and utilization independent of oxygen supply, facilitates the pentose pathway and maintains energy synthesis in the brain. Piracetam enhances recovery from hypoxic injury by increasing the turnover of inorganic phosphates and reducing the accumulation of glucose and lactic acid. Under normal as well as hypoxic conditions, piracetam has been shown to increase the amount of ATP in the brain by increasing the conversion of ADP to ATP; this may be a mechanism to explain some of the beneficial effects of the drug. Effects on acetylcholine secretion (increasing acetylcholine release) may also contribute to the drug's mechanism of action. The drug also works to increase the release of dopamine and this can have a beneficial effect on memory formation. The drug has no sedating, sedative, resuscitative, analgesia, neuroleptic or neuroleptic effects, nor does it have the effect of GABA. Piracetam reduces platelet aggregation and, in the case of abnormally stiff red blood cells, can restore red blood cell deformability and ability to pass through capillaries.

Treatment of dyslexia in children: 50mg/kg body weight/day, divided into 3 oral doses. Adjust dose in patients with creatinine clearance < 60 ml/min. Creatinine clearance 60 - 40 ml/min: Take 2 normal doses. Creatinine clearance 40 - 20 ml/min: Take 1 normal dose. Usual:
Adults: starting dose 800 mg, three times daily. Case improvement 400 mg, three times daily. In addition, 2 consecutive doses should not be skipped.
