Nopil Syrup

Nopil Syrup is a syrup made by Glitz Pharma that contains Piracetam, a nootropic medicine. It is used for myoclonus and memory and concentration problems.

Uses of Nopil Syrup

Nopil Syrup is licensed in the UK as an add-on treatment for cortical myoclonus, a condition causing sudden jerking movements. In Pakistan and some other countries, doctors also prescribe it for memory or concentration problems in older people or after a stroke or head injury, although the evidence for these uses is limited. It should be used only on medical advice.

How Nopil Syrup works

Piracetam is a derivative of the brain chemical GABA, but it does not act like a sedative. It is thought to improve the flexibility of nerve cell membranes and the way brain cells communicate, and it also makes red blood cells less sticky, which may help blood flow in small vessels.

Possible side effects

Not everyone has side effects with Nopil Syrup, but those reported include:

• Nervousness or restlessness
• Weight gain
• Drowsiness
• Low mood
• Weakness

Seek medical help for unusual bleeding or bruising, or for any worsening of seizures or jerking movements.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, as the dose may need adjusting or it may not be suitable.
• Let your doctor know about bleeding problems, recent bleeding in the brain, or if you take blood thinners.
• It must not be used by people with Huntington’s disease.
• If you take it for myoclonus, do not stop it suddenly, as this can bring back jerks or trigger seizures.
• It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
