INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2011.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

The active component is piracetam, a cyclic derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Pyracetam is a nootropic drug that directly affects the brain, improving cognitive (cognitive) processes, such as learning ability, memory, attention, and mental performance.
Piracetam has an effect on the central nervous system in various ways: changing the rate of spread of excitation in the brain, improves metabolic processes in nerve cells, improves microcirculation, affects the rheological characteristics of the blood, without providing a vasodilating effect. Improves the connection between the cerebral hemispheres and synaptic conductivity in neocortical structures, improves cerebral blood flow.
Pyracetam inhibits platelet aggregation and restores the configuration properties of the outer membrane of rigid red blood cells, as well as the ability of the latter to pass through the vessels of the microcircular bed.
At a dose of 9.6 g reduces the concentration of fibrinogen and von Willebrand factors by 30-40% and prolongs the time of bleeding. Piracetam has a protective and restorative effect in the violation of brain function due to hypoxia and intoxication.
Pyracetam reduces the severity and duration of the vestibular nystagmus.

PHARMACOKINETICS

T 1/2 pyracetam - 4-5 h from plasma and 8.5 h from cerebrospinal fluid.
80-100% of pyracetam is excreted by the kidneys unchanged by glomerular filtration. The total clearance is 80-90 ml / min. T 1/2 is prolonged in chronic renal failure (CRF) (with thermal CRF - up to 59 hours). Hepatic insufficiency does not affect the pharmacokinetics. Penetrates through the blood-brain and placental barrier, is removed during hemodialysis. In animal experiments, it selectively accumulates in the tissues of the cerebral cortex, mainly in the frontal, parietal and occipital lobes, in the cerebellum and basal nuclei. Does not bind to plasma proteins, it is not metabolized.
INDICATIONS

In adults :

- symptomatic treatment of psycho-organic syndrome, accompanied by memory loss, decreased concentration and activity, mood changes, behavioral disorder, gait disturbance;

- Treatment of vertigo (vertigo) and related disorders of equilibrium (with the exception of vertigo of the vasomotor and psychogenic origin);

Treatment of dizziness and related imbalances: 2.4-4.8 g / day.

Treatment of cortical myoclonia: begin with a dose of 7.2 g / day, every 3-4 days the dose is increased by 4.8 g / day until the maximum dose of 24 g / day is reached.Treatment continues throughout the period of the disease.
Every 6 months, you should try to reduce the dose or cancel the drug, gradually reducing the dose by 1.2 g / day every 2 days. With little or no therapeutic effect, treatment is discontinued.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Be wary appoint patients with hemostasis, before the forthcoming extensive surgical interventions or in patients with symptoms of severe bleeding.

In the treatment of cortical myoclonia, sudden cessation of treatment should be avoided, as this may cause the resumption of seizures.

With prolonged therapy in elderly patients, regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended, if necessary, dose adjustment is performed depending on the QC.

It penetrates the hemodialysis apparatus through the filter membranes.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

During the period of treatment, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities requiring increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
