Piracetam is a synthetic nootropic drug of the racetam family. Nootropic drugs are substances that are used to enhance cognitive function, particularly memory and creativity.

Description: Piracetam is thought to work by increasing blood flow to the brain and by modifying the properties of the neurotransmitters involved in learning and memory. It is typically prescribed to individuals with cognitive impairment caused by conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as to those who have suffered a traumatic brain injury. Piracetam is also sometimes used off-label to improve cognitive function in healthy individuals.

Side Effects: Common side effects of piracetam include headaches, anxiety, insomnia, and nausea. Some people may also experience drowsiness, dizziness, or agitation. These side effects are generally mild and disappear with time or with a decrease in dosage.

However, some rare but serious side effects may also occur, such as:

• Allergic reactions (itching, hives, rash, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat)

• Seizures

• Blood clotting problems

• Hemorrhage (bleeding from nose, gums, eyes or other organs)

It’s important to be aware of these potential side effects and to consult with a doctor if any severe or persistent side effects are experienced.
