In case of withdrawal in chronic alcoholism the dose of the drug reaches 12 g/day during the manifestation of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Maintenance dose is 2.4 g/day.

In treatment of dizziness and associated balance disorders the dose is 2.4-4.8 g/day.

In the correction of learning disabilities Nootropil is prescribed in a daily dose of 3.3 g (about 8 ml of 20% solution for oral administration 2 times a day). The treatment must continue throughout the school year.

In case of cortical myoclonias treatment is started with a dose of 7.2 g/day, every 3-4 days the dose is increased by 4.8 g/day until a maximum dose of 24 g/day is reached. Treatment with Nootropil is continued for the entire period of the disease.

Interaction

No interaction with clonazepam, phenytoin, phenobarbital, sodium valproate has been reported. Confusion, irritability and sleep disturbances have been reported during concomitant thyroid treatment (T3+T4).

Nootropil® at high dose (9.6 g/day) improves the effectiveness of indirect anticoagulants in patients with venous thrombosis (greater reductions in platelet aggregation, fibrinogen levels, Willebrand factors, blood viscosity and plasma compared to indirect coagulants alone have been observed).

The possibility of changing pharmacodynamics of Nootropil® by other drugs is low because 90% of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine.

Nootropil® does not inhibit cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. Metabolic interaction with other drugs is unlikely.

The administration of the preparation Nootropil® in dose 20 mg/day does not change Cmax and character of pharmacokinetic curve of antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproate) in patients with epilepsy who receive constant doses of these drugs.

The serum concentrations of piracetam and ethanol were not altered when piracetam at a dose of 1.6 g was coadministered with alcohol.

Special Instructions

Caution should be exercised when prescribing the drug in patients with impaired hemostasis, during major surgery or in patients with symptoms of severe bleeding.

When treating patients with cortical myoclonias, abrupt withdrawal of current therapy should be avoided, as this may cause a recurrence of seizures.

In long-term therapy of elderly patients, regular monitoring of renal function parameters is recommended; if necessary, the dose should be adjusted depending on the results of creatinine clearance study.

Notropil passes through the filter membranes of hemodialysis machines.
