piracetam and Abnormalities, Drug-Induced

piracetam has been researched along with Abnormalities, Drug-Induced in 10 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Abnormalities, Drug-Induced: Congenital abnormalities caused by medicinal substances or drugs of abuse given to or taken by the mother, or to which she is inadvertently exposed during the manufacture of such substances. The concept excludes abnormalities resulting from exposure to non-medicinal chemicals in the environment.
