To say that drugs have different contraindications, too, is impossible.

Dosage and Treatment Regimen

To make a choice in favor of one or the other drug to study the dosage regimen and dosage, it is also necessary to remember that they will depend on the nature of the pathology. The drug should be prescribed by a doctor. The table shows the exemplary usage pattern of medicaments.

Age group	nootropil	piracetam
The dosage for adults	If the drug is introduced into a solution for injection, then it is assigned to 10 g once daily. Nootropilum in the form of tablets administered in a dosage of 30 to 160 g twice daily.	The injections in the initial phase of therapy 2000-4000 mg dosage and then increased to 6000 mg. Drug tablets taken at the same dosage as the Nootropil, but the multiplicity of reception 2-4 times a day.

What to choose

To give a definite answer to this question is difficult. If we compare with Piracetam nootropil, the biggest difference between them is the cost. Ampoules of solution for injection nootropics can be purchased for 300-350 rubles, in the same form Piracetam costs just from 50 to 200 rubles.

The difference in price is also pills nearly doubled. How can this be explained? It all depends on the manufacturer. Piracetam is made in Russia and the former CIS countries and Nootropil imported from Belgium or Poland. Imported drugs considered more refined, thereby increasing its effectiveness. It is believed that long-term use of piracetam may cause more adverse effects to the body. There is a risk of problems with the liver and kidneys.

But all this is just speculation, there is no 100% proven facts regarding the effectiveness of one of the best medicines. And to make it quite difficult, because the therapeutic effect of the application is not immediately noticeable, it is required to take Nootropil with piracetam for a long time.

This question is better addressed to the attending physician taking into account comorbidities, characteristics of the organism and the individual tolerability medication.
