• You are elderly, as your kidney function will be checked before and during treatment.

Interactions with other medicines

• Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements and herbal products you use before starting Patricetam Gpc tablet, and before any surgery or dental procedure.
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, aspirin and clopidogrel may have their effect increased, because the piracetam component reduces the clumping of platelets. Tell your doctor if you take any of these.
• Thyroid hormone preparations have been reported to cause confusion and irritability when combined with piracetam.
• Tell your doctor if you take any medicine that affects the brain, including sedatives, antipsychotics or antidepressants, as effects on alertness and mood may add together.
