Piracetam（Cat No.:A000543）is a nootropic drug known for enhancing cognitive functions such as memory, learning, and concentration. It is believed to work by modulating neurotransmitter activity, improving neuronal communication, and increasing blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain. Used to treat cognitive impairments in conditions like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and dyslexia, Piracetam also shows benefits in reducing the severity of myoclonus and post-stroke recovery. Generally well-tolerated, its side effects are mild, including headache and insomnia. Piracetam is valued for its potential to boost cognitive health and overall brain function.
