About GINKGO BILOBA+PIRACETAM
GINKGO BILOBA+PIRACETAM belongs to the class of 'nootropics' primarily used to improve cognitive or mental function, especially in the people with neurodegenerative problems, traumatic brain injury or stroke. GINKGO BILOBA+PIRACETAM treat memory disorders, myoclonus (a movement disorder), anxiety disorder, dementia (memory loss) in Alzheimer's disease, vision problems, seizure disorder (epilepsy), dizziness (vertigo), and dyslexia (a learning disorder marked by difficulty reading). Myoclonus is a movement disorder that causes uncontrollable twitching and jerky movements of arms and legs. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes dementia (memory loss), and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate, and handle daily activities.
GINKGO BILOBA+PIRACETAM contains two medicines: 'Ginkgo Biloba' and 'Piracetam.' Ginkgo Biloba is a herbal product widely used to treat memory issues, thought problems, anxiety and vision problems. Besides this, Ginkgo also acts as an antioxidant that works by improving blood circulation in the brain, eyes, ears, and legs, thus improving these organs' better functioning. On the other hand, Piracetam belongs to the chemical messenger class in the brain called GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid). It works by acting on the nervous system and brain, thereby protecting against shortness of oxygen, blood, and nutrients. It also improves the activity of a chemical messenger/neurotransmitter called acetylcholine and improves mental function, such as memory and thinking.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Myoclonus is a movement disorder that causes uncontrollable twitching and jerky movements of arms and legs. It causes sudden muscle spasms, which are involuntary and uncontrollable. It might involve one muscle or group of muscles and can occur randomly or in a pattern. Myoclonus is generally a clinical sign of an underlying disease rather than the condition itself.
Alzheimer's disease: It is a neurological disorder that causes dementia (memory loss), and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate, and eventually, the ability to handle daily activities. It is the most common cause of dementia (memory loss) in adults.
Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning, such as remembering, thinking, and reasoning.
