Nefiracetam NEFI

A brain-supplement compound studied in Japan for helping cognitive problems after a stroke. Those studies showed some benefit, but it wasn't approved as widely as other stroke-recovery treatments and has little research outside that specific group of patients.

Also known as DM-9384, Nefiracetamum, 1JK12GX30N, RefChem:832135, Translon, DM 9384, Nefiracetam [INN], Motiva
