Norcetam

Description :
Norcetam (Piracetam) is a pscychotropic agent acting on the brain to improve the efficacy of telencephalon, which is involved in cognition, learning, memory and alertness. Piracetam acts on the CNS by modifying neurotransmission within the brain and improves metabolic environmental essential for neuronal function. It is also a haemorrheological agent which improves microcirculation without producing vasodilation. Norcetam will inhibit the increased aggregation of activated platelets and, it can restore deformability and the ability to pass through the microvasculature in conditions where there is abnormal rigidity of the red blood cell.
Norcetam is rapidly and almost completely absorbed in the gut. Plasma half-life is 4 to 5 hrs, while the half-life in the cerebrospinal fluid is 6 to 8 hrs.
