OXIRACETAM (Neuromet®) Source: smart-drugs.net Chemical Oxiracetam (4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidone-acetamide). Neuromet acts upon the central nervous system, selectively activating the integrative cortical functions. Original experimentation research has shown that Oxiracetam restores the complex activity of the cerebral cortex in the presence of acute cerebral insults and of damage in the evolutionary phase. Neuromet acts positively on the cerebral metabolism increasing the receptiveness of ATP, stimulating the synthesis of proteins and turnover of phospholipids. Neuromet has no stimulant or sedative effects and does not affect the activity of the autonomous nervous system. Clinical studies have shown it to improve acute and chronic cerebral performance (organic psychosyndrome), characterized for example by disorders in behavior, in time space orientation, in alteration, adaptation, and also to boost mental performance, including memory and learning. Neuromet provides high bioreceptivity and optimum tolerance and may be taken in a wide range of dosages either by mouth or otherwise. Recommendations Mental syndromes having to do with cerebral activity, and mental performance disorders in the elderly.
