Myoclonus is a movement disorder that causes uncontrollable twitching and jerky movements of arms and legs.
Ze-Cetam Syrup contains 'Piracetam' that acts on the brain and nervous system, thereby protects against shortness of oxygen. It also improves the activity of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine which helps in communication between brain cells.
