Piracetam is a cyclic derivative of gamma aminobutyric acid, GABA, which is a stimulant. In other words, Piracetam has the effect of improving the metabolism of nerve cells.
Piracetam is taken orally, then rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Once absorbed, piracetam is transported in the blood as a free, unbound protein and to all tissues and organs in the body. In addition, Piracetam can cross the vascular barrier, the placenta and membranes used in renal dialysis.
After performing its function, Piracetam will be excreted by the kidneys in the urine in an intact state. The renal clearance of piracetam in normal subjects is 86 ml/min. More than 95% of the drug is excreted in the urine 30 minutes after ingestion. In patients with renal failure, the elimination time will be increased due to the decreased renal filtering function.
In the body, Piracetam acts on a number of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine ... In addition, the drug can also change a neurotransmitter and improve the metabolic environment to create conditions for nerve cells to work best.
On the other hand, Piracetam also helps the body to fight ischemic metabolic disorders by increasing the brain's resistance to hypoxia. Stimulates mobilization and utilization of glucose independent of oxygen supply. This helps facilitate glucose metabolism by the pentose pathway and maintains energy synthesis in the brain.
