Description
Overview of the medicine
Smartpill-Lite 3 mg Tablet is a nootropic medication used to enhance cognitive function, including memory, attention, and mental clarity. It is designed to support brain health and optimize mental performance.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Initially 3 mg once daily in the morning. Dosage may be increased to 6 mg daily if needed, based on patient response and tolerability.
Elderly
Start with a lower dose of 1.5 mg once daily. Adjust dosage cautiously based on individual response and renal function.
Renal_impairment
For patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-50 mL/min), consider reducing the dose to 1.5 mg once daily. Not recommended for severe impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min).
How to Take
Take orally with a glass of water, with or without food, preferably in the morning to avoid insomnia.
Mechanism of Action
Smartpill-Lite is believed to modulate neurotransmitter activity, particularly increasing the release and effectiveness of acetylcholine and dopamine in key areas of the brain, leading to enhanced synaptic plasticity and neuronal communication.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Cognitive effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes.
Excretion
Excreted predominantly by the kidneys, with approximately 70% as metabolites and 30% as unchanged drug in urine.
Half life
The elimination half-life is approximately 6-8 hours.
Absorption
Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; peak plasma concentrations are reached within 1-2 hours after oral administration.
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized in the liver via CYP450 enzymes, with several active and inactive metabolites.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to Smartpill-Lite or any excipients
- Severe uncontrolled hypertension
- Severe anxiety disorders or panic attacks
- History of psychosis or bipolar disorder
Drug Interactions
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Potential to enhance the anticoagulant effect. Close monitoring of INR is recommended.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)
Concomitant use with MAOIs can lead to hypertensive crisis. Smartpill-Lite should not be used within 14 days of discontinuing MAOIs.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include severe agitation, confusion, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, tremors, and seizures. Treatment involves supportive care, management of symptoms, and gastric lavage or activated charcoal if ingestion was recent. Seek immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Smartpill-Lite is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient data on safety and potential risks to the fetus or infant. Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk and after consulting with a healthcare professional.
