In reply to Anyone tried Piracetam, Pyritinol or Piroxicam??, posted by rod on July 21, 2003, at 15:04:54
It seems this drugs are not available in the US, so I'm posting some facts about, for those who are interested in it. (I will use altavistas babelfish for this and try to make some corrections by hand, so dont be surprised about bad english)
PIRACETAM:
(Nootropil)Piracetam improves higher integrative central functions such as memory -, learn -, view -, think- and concentration-ability.
Nootropil improved also the metabolism of the cells of the cerebral cortex and leads across a increased conversion of ATP, glucose and ribonucleiacid to an increase of the protein metabolism. Thus Nootropil promotes the power supply of the brain, increases the brain achievement and has a protective effect against different central damaging Noxen. These characteristics become apparent by improvement of learning and the memory and promotion of intracerebral communication.
Apart from an activation of the central energy and protein metabolism under Nootropil, also specific effects are observed on the cerebral neuro transmission. Newer investigations show that Nootropil favorably affects also the flow characteristics of the blood.
From it result:
* intensified protection of the brain in relation to hypoxia;
* Shortening of the cerebral recovery period;
* Improvement of memory and learning functions;
* Easement of the information transfer from a hemisphere to the other one as well as
* Reinforcement of cortical control of subcortical neural structures.
Thereby above all an improvement of Psychasthenie (means "confusion"), the disturbances of attention and memory, disturbed psychomotor activity and adjustment to the environment.
PYRITINOL:Pyritinol is a encephalotropic substance, whose pharmacologic main effect is the improvement of a disturbed brain metabolism. Favorable effects of the substance on the cerebralen glucose metabolism, the protein metabolism and the neural phospholipid and acetyl choline metabolism were determined.
Apart from these biochemical effects Pyritinol normalizes the blood fluidity and increases the regional brain blood circulation in lack-supplied with blood areas. Damaging influences on the nerve cells are decreased by Pyritinol. In the EEG Pyritinol leads to an activation of cortical and subcortical structures (Formatio reticularis mesencephali, Limbic system) and and thereby increases vigilance (or vigility?). Clinically the effect shows up in an improvement of disturbances of the brain function and the brain achievement in particular the symptoms memory disturbances, lack of concentration, drive poverty, depressive detuning and fatigue.
PIROXICAM:
(the primary use of this drug is e.g. arthritis, althoug is is in the same international drug classification as Piracetam and Pyritinol: ATC-Code: N06BX (Nootropics))Piroxicam is a nonseroidic Antiphlogisticum from the group of the Oxicame, whose impact is predominantly based on an inhibition of the Prostaglandinsynthesis. In addition Piroxicam restrains the cell migration of monocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes as well as the release of oxygen radicals from activated leukocytes. Piroxicam works antiinflammatorc, analgetic and antipyretic.
