Breastfeeding

The use of this medicine 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.

3. How to take Ciclofalina

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medicine 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 states:

Start treatment by administering 6 sachets per day (4.8 g of piracetam) for the first few weeks, and continue treatment with 3 sachets 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 sachets per day (7.2 g of piracetam) and gradually increase the dose by 4.8 g of piracetam (6 sachets) per day, every 3-4 days, until a satisfactory response is obtained or up to a maximum of 30 sachets 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 medicines will be reduced, if possible.

Once treatment with this medicine has been 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 that the effect of this medicine is too strong or too weak, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
