Pramiracetam - Caveat lector 


                       

                       Pramiracetam, also known as CI-879, is another
                       chemical relative to piracetam, and has a similar
                       effect in improving the operations of the
                       neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Like oxiracetam,
                       pramiracetam appears to be more potent than
                       piracetam. Although pramiracetam seems to be
                       more potent and effective, it is less common than
                       piracetam. Pramiracetam is newer, less tested,
                       and less available. Parke Davis is working
                       through the maze of FDA approval of
                       pramiracetam to treat Alzheimer's disease. If
                       pramiracetam becomes legally available, it will
                       probably be used not only for Alzheimer's
                       disease but for cognitive enhancement as well.
