2.Product Description:

Phenylpiracetam (Phenotropil, Carphedon) is a phenylated analog of the nootropic drug piracetam which was developed in 1983 in Russia where it is available as a prescription drug. It has been used in humans as a CNS stimulant, a locomotor stimulant, a sports performance enhancer, and a nootropic (in which case, it can be up to 30-60 times more potent than piracetam). Research on animals has shown phenylpiracetam to have various actions such as anti-amnesic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and memory enhancement effects.

3.Product Applications:

A small number of low-scale clinical studies have shown possible links between prescription of phenylpiracetam and improvement in a number of encephalopathic conditions, including lesions of cerebral blood pathways, traumatic brain injury and certain types of glioma.

Phenylpiracetam reverses the depressant effects of the benzodiazepine diazepam, increases operant behavior, inhibits post-rotational nystagmus, prevents retrograde amnesia, and has anticonvulsant properties.Phenylpiracetam is typically prescribed as a general stimulant or to increase tolerance to extreme temperatures and stress.
