Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

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 ischemic brain tissue.

Lucetam is Indicated for the Treatment of:

  • Cortical myoclonus (short, sudden muscle contractions of one or more limbs or trunk);
  • Dizziness of various origins;
  • Dyslexic disorders in children (in combination with speech therapy).

2. Important Information Before Taking Lucetam

When Not to Take Lucetam:

  • If you are allergic to piracetam, other pyrrolidone derivatives, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • If you have cerebral hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke);
  • If you have end-stage renal disease;
  • If you have Huntington's chorea.

Warnings and Precautions

Before taking Lucetam, tell your doctor or pharmacist:

  • If you have 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 you have bleeding disorders, are bleeding heavily, or are at risk of bleeding, for example, due to stomach or intestinal ulcers; if you have had a hemorrhagic stroke in the past; or if you have had major surgery, including dental surgery, or are taking anticoagulant medications or platelet aggregation inhibitors (including low doses of acetylsalicylic acid), as the active substance of Lucetam may affect blood coagulation and its use in such cases requires special caution (and close medical supervision).
  • If you have 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

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking, or have recently taken, and any medicines you plan to take.
Remember to inform your doctor if you are taking thyroid hormones or anticoagulant medications. Concomitant use of these medicines with Lucetam requires close medical supervision or dose modification.

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 baby.
Breastfeeding
Piracetam is excreted in human milk. Therefore, Lucetam should not be used during breastfeeding, or breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with Lucetam.
