Piracetam is usually supplied in 400 mg tablets or capsules.

 

A two week regimen of piracetam was found to enhance verbal memory in healthy college students in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

 

A study has shown Piracetam effective in counteracting cerebral hypoxia. Young men in their 20s and early 30s breathing air with 10.5% oxygen (45% less than normal, equivalent to 17,000 feet of altitude) were able to perform substantially better on a complex-choice reaction-time test when they took a single 2400 mg dose of piracetam. Not only was mental performance equivalent to controls breathing normal 20% oxygen, but piracetam also normalized the respiratory rates of those breathing the oxygen-deprived air. This effect was significant at both 1600 mg and 2400 mg.
