1. What is Recodium max and what is it used for

Recodium max is a nootropic medicine (affecting cognitive functions). This medicine
reduces blood viscosity, increases blood flow through brain vessels without dilating them.
It also increases oxygen utilization and glucose consumption in ischemic brain tissue.

Indications for use

  • treatment of cortical myoclonus (short, violent muscle contractions in one or more limbs or torso);
  • treatment of dyslexic disorders in children, simultaneously with speech therapy;
  • treatment of dizziness;
  • supportive treatment of age-related cognitive disorders (excluding Alzheimer's disease), after a thorough neurological/geriatric assessment by a specialist doctor.

2. Important information before taking Recodium max

When not to take Recodium max

  • if the patient is allergic to piracetam, other pyrrolidone derivatives, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has cerebral hemorrhage. The most common symptom is a severe headache, limb paresis (e.g., facial muscle weakness with speech disorders) and vomiting;
  • if the patient has terminal renal failure;
  • if the patient has Huntington's chorea (characterized by involuntary movements, irritability, depression, memory disorders).

Children

Do not use in children under 8 years of age for the treatment of dyslexic disorders.

Recodium max and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are taking
currently or recently, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
The patient should inform their doctor if they are taking any of the following medicines:

  • -thyroxine(a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, used to treat hypothyroidism) – due to the risk of irritability and confusion (disorder of thought process, disorientation);
  • anticoagulant medicinese.g. heparin, acenocoumarol, warfarin;
  • platelet aggregation inhibitors, including small doses of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

The likelihood of piracetam affecting the metabolism of other medicines is
low.

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.

This medicine should not be used during breastfeeding, as it passes into human milk.

Driving and using machines

should be taken into account.
