1. What is Lucetam and what is it used for

Piracetam, the active substance of Lucetam, is a nootropic agent, which means it stimulates brain metabolism. It reduces blood viscosity, increases blood flow through the brain vessels without vasodilating effects, and also increases oxygen utilization and glucose consumption in the brain tissue with impaired blood supply.

Lucetam is indicated for the treatment of:

  • cortical myoclonus (short, sudden muscle contractions of one or more limbs or the trunk);
  • vertigo of various origins;
  • dyslexic disorders in children (in combination with speech therapy).

2. Important information before taking Lucetam

When not to take Lucetam:

  • if the patient is hypersensitive to piracetam, other pyrrolidone derivatives, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has cerebral hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke);
  • if the patient has end-stage renal disease;
  • if the patient has Huntington's chorea.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking Lucetam, the patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist:

  • if the patient has impaired renal function, as the elimination of the active substance of Lucetam may be reduced, and the effect of the medicine may be stronger. Dose adjustment may be necessary. In elderly patients, the doctor will regularly check renal function during treatment.
  • if the patient has bleeding disorders, is bleeding heavily, or is at risk of bleeding, for example, due to stomach or intestinal ulcers; if the patient has had a hemorrhagic stroke in the past;

or if they have recently undergone major surgery, including dental surgery, or are taking anticoagulant medications or antiplatelet agents (including small doses of acetylsalicylic acid), as the active substance of Lucetam may affect blood coagulation and its use in such cases requires special caution (and careful medical supervision);

  • if the patient has central nervous system-derived muscle tremors (cortical myoclonus), as sudden withdrawal of Lucetam may lead to recurrence of myoclonus and withdrawal seizures.

Lucetam and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
The patient should remember to inform their doctor about taking thyroid hormones or anticoagulant medications. Concomitant use of these medicines with Lucetam requires careful medical supervision or modification of the administered doses.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Lucetam should only be used during pregnancy if clearly necessary. The doctor will only prescribe this medicine if the benefits of its use in individual cases outweigh the risk to the child.
Breastfeeding
Piracetam is excreted into breast milk. Therefore, Lucetam should not be used during breastfeeding, or breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with Lucetam.

Driving and using machines

Given the adverse events observed during the use of Lucetam, it is possible that the medicine may affect driving and operating machinery, which should be taken into account. In this regard, the doctor will determine the appropriate restrictions.

Overdose of Lucetam

The patient should not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. In case of a missed dose, the patient should take the missed dose as soon as possible before the next dose. If it is already time for the next dose, the patient should skip the missed dose, as there is a risk of overdose if two doses are taken at the same time.
