About PYRITINOL
PYRITINOL belongs to the class of nootropics. It is indicated as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of a wide variety of disorders of the brain, such as Cerebrovascular disorders and mental function disorders. Cerebrovascular disease is a collection of disorders that affect blood flow and blood arteries in the brain. A mental disorder is characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotional regulation, or behaviour. It is also used in the treatment of vegetative dysfunction in children and adolescents.
PYRITINOL contains Pyritinol. It controls the signalling pathways of several neurotransmitters, such as N-methyl-d-aspartate, γ-aminobutyric acid, and acetylcholine. On the other side, it has also been proven that pyritinol lowers plasma viscosity and functions as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
You are advised to take PYRITINOL for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as epigastric distress (pain or discomfort below your ribs), anorexia (an eating disorder), nausea, vomiting, restlessness, headache, insomnia (a common sleep disorder) and rash. You are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
If you are allergic to pyritinol or any inactive ingredients present in PYRITINOL, do not take it. If you are a pregnant woman or nursing mother, do not consume PYRITINOL without first consulting your doctor. Before taking the PYRITINOL, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using.
