Novatam 800 MG Tablet 10 contains piracetam (800 mg), which works on the body through the following mechanisms:

• Enhanced Neurotransmission: Piracetam boosts the function of acetylcholine and glutamate receptors, leading to improved neuron-to-neuron communication and plasticity.
• Improved Blood Flow: The medication improves blood flow and microcirculation by reducing the adherence of red blood cells to vessel walls and preventing vasospasm, an abnormal constriction that decreases blood flow.
• Restored Cell Membrane Fluidity: Piracetam helps restore the fluidity of cell membranes, which is essential for optimal neuron function and blood vessel health.

• Store Novatam 800 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
• Keep this medicine in a tightly closed container, away from light and moisture.
• Include the desiccant pouches provided in the bottle to absorb any excess moisture.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you are dealing with involuntary muscle jerks or myoclonus, try to incorporate physical activities such as stretching, yoga or tai chi into your routine. They can enhance muscle control and reduce jerks.
• For individuals with cognitive issues like memory decline or Alzheimer's disease, consider a diet rich in antioxidants. Foods like berries, leafy greens and nuts can potentially support brain health. Always consult your doctor for personalised advice.
