Piracetam 400 mg tablet
What is Piracetam used for?
Piracetam is used to treat cortical myoclonus, a movement disorder that causes short and uncontrollable twitching or jerky movements of arms and legs. Piracetam is often prescribed to improve cognition and memory and slow brain aging. It has been used to improve the neurological conditions of Alzheimers disease, Downs syndrome, dementia and dyslexia (learning disorder).

What it costs
| Source | Pack | Price | Per tablet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan Aushadhi Government generic | 10's | ₹17.54 | ₹1.75 |
MRP is subject to change. These prices come from a dated snapshot — always check the price printed on the pack.
No single branded MRP is shown because this page covers the composition rather than one brand — branded prices vary by manufacturer and pack.
How much of it to take
This catalogue does not carry dosing information. How much to take, and how often, depends on you — your age, weight, kidney function and the other medicines you are on — so it comes from your prescription or your doctor, not from here.
Before you switch to a cheaper version
These products have the same composition, strength and dose form. Prices vary by brand and pharmacy — confirm cost and suitability with your doctor or pharmacist before switching.
Two cautions worth carrying into that conversation. A modified-release product (marked SR, XR, CR or ER) is not interchangeable with a plain one of the same strength. And for a small group of medicines with a narrow safe range — warfarin, thyroxine, phenytoin, lithium, some immunosuppressants — staying on one brand is the safer default, and any change should be monitored.
