The active ingredient of Ciclofalina is piracetam. Piracetam is a nootropic substance, without sedative or psychostimulant effects, indicated for the treatment of attention and memory disorders, difficulties in daily activities and adaptation to the environment, which accompany mental deterioration due to age-related cerebral degenerative disease.

It is also indicated for the treatment of cortical myoclonus.

2. What you need to know before taking Ciclofalina

Do not take Ciclofalina

  • If you have a cerebral hemorrhage.
  • If you have terminal renal insufficiency.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medication.

  • If you have kidney problems, a smaller dose will be administered according to the severity of the kidney problems; your doctor will indicate the dose to take.
  • Abrupt withdrawal of treatment should be avoided in myoclonic patients, as it may cause a myoclonic or generalized crisis.

Taking Ciclofalina with other medications

Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication.

Only one case has been reported in which piracetam and thyroid hormone extracts (T3 and T4) taken together have caused confusion, irritability, and sleep disorders.

To date, no other interactions with other medications have been detected.

Taking Ciclofalina with food, drink, and alcohol

The tablets should be taken with the help of a liquid. This medication can be taken with or without food.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Pregnancy

Although no adverse effects have been reported in animal studies, this medication should be avoided during pregnancy. If you take piracetam accidentally, it is not expected to affect the fetus.

Breastfeeding

The use of this medication should be avoided during breastfeeding or breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment.

Driving and using machines

Considering the possible side effects observed with piracetam, it is possible that they may affect the ability to drive and use machinery, which should be taken into account.

Elderly patients

In elderly patients, it is recommended to visit the doctor regularly to indicate the correct dose.

Ciclofalina contains orange yellow S (E-110)

This medication may cause allergic reactions because it contains orange yellow S (E-110). It can cause asthma, especially in patients allergic to acetylsalicylic acid.

3. How to take Ciclofalina

Follow the administration instructions of this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose is:

For the symptomatic treatment of mental deterioration:

Start treatment by administering 6 tablets per day (4.8 g of piracetam) for the first few weeks, and continue treatment with 3 tablets per day (2.4 g of piracetam).

The daily dose will be administered in 2 or 3 doses.

For the treatment of cortical myoclonus:

Start treatment with 9 tablets per day (7.2 g of piracetam) and gradually increase the dose by 4.8 g of piracetam (6 tablets) per day, every 3-4 days, until a satisfactory response is obtained or up to a maximum of 30 tablets per day (24 g of piracetam).

The daily dose will be administered in 2 or 3 doses, maintaining the other antimioclonic treatments with their posology. Then, depending on the clinical response obtained, the dose of the other antimioclonic medications will be reduced, if possible.

Once treatment with this medication has started, it should be maintained for as long as the original cerebral pathology persists. However, every 6 months, an attempt should be made to decrease or discontinue treatment.

Note: Patients with kidney problems should take a lower dose (see "Warnings and precautions").

The duration of treatment depends on the type, duration, and course of the symptoms.

If you think the effect of this medication is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If you take more Ciclofalina than you should

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately, or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Ciclofalina

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses. Continue taking your normal dose when it is due.

If you interrupt treatment with Ciclofalina

To avoid the sudden reappearance of the condition, the attempt to withdraw treatment should be made by reducing the dose by 1.2 g of piracetam (1.5 tablets) every 2 days.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
