Special Precautions of Picamilon

• It should be noted that treating a chronic condition with picamilon and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences. If you're considering the use of picamilon for the treatment of a chronic condition (such as high blood pressure or Parkinson's disease), consult your physician before taking the drug, as it may not be appropriate or safe for people with certain conditions, such as cancer.

Niacin is known to promote widening of the blood vessels, while gamma-aminobutyric acid plays a key role in regulating nervous system activity. An amino acid found naturally in your body, GABA acts as a neurotransmitter (a type of chemical responsible for carrying information from one cell to another). Research indicates that people with certain mental health problems (such as major depression and anxiety) may be more likely to have low levels of GABA. Picamilon is often referred to as a "smart drug," a class of drugs used to enhance brain function. In addition, picamilon is said to help treat the following conditions:

• anxiety (including social anxiety)
