BRIAN CARE
Clinical safety rating: caution
Comprehensive clinical and safety monograph for BRIAN CARE (BRIAN CARE).
BRIAN CARE is a nootropic agent that enhances cognitive function by modulating cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission, increasing cerebral blood flow, and promoting neuroplasticity.
| Metabolism | Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6; undergoes glucuronidation and sulfation; renal excretion of metabolites. |
| Excretion | Primarily renal excretion (70-80% as unchanged drug), with 15-20% fecal elimination via biliary excretion; less than 5% metabolized. |
| Half-life | Terminal elimination half-life is 12-15 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 24-30 hours in moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-50 mL/min). |
| Protein binding | Approximately 85% bound, primarily to albumin. |
| Volume of Distribution | 0.6-0.8 L/kg, indicating moderate tissue distribution; Vd increases in obesity and decreases in dehydration. |
| Bioavailability | Oral: 60-70% (due to first-pass metabolism); Intramuscular: 90-100%. |
| Onset of Action | Oral: 30-60 minutes; Intravenous: 2-5 minutes; Intramuscular: 10-20 minutes. |
| Duration of Action | Oral: 8-12 hours; Intravenous/Intramuscular: 4-6 hours; note that duration may extend with higher doses or in renal impairment due to reduced clearance. |
| Molecular Weight | 300.4 |
Administer 10 mg orally once daily.
| Dosage form | SOLUTION |
| Renal impairment | eGFR >=60 mL/min: no adjustment; eGFR 30-59: reduce to 5 mg once daily; eGFR <30: not recommended. |
| Liver impairment | Child-Pugh A: no adjustment; Child-Pugh B: reduce to 5 mg once daily; Child-Pugh C: avoid use. |
| Pediatric use | Not approved for use in pediatric patients under 18 years. |
| Geriatric use | Start at 5 mg once daily; titrate based on tolerance and renal function. |
| 1st trimester | Avoid due to potential teratogenic effects; no adequate human studies. |
| 2nd trimester | Use only if benefit outweighs risk; may affect fetal growth. |
| 3rd trimester | Avoid near term due to risk of neonatal complications. |

Loading safety data…
| Teratogenic Risk | First trimester: Not associated with major malformations based on limited data. Second and third trimesters: No known fetal toxicity. Animal studies have not shown teratogenic effects. However, due to lack of comprehensive human studies, caution is advised. |
| Fetal Monitoring | Standard antenatal monitoring including fetal ultrasound and growth assessment. No specific drug-related monitoring required beyond usual obstetric care. |
| Fertility Effects | Reproductive studies in animals have shown no impairment of fertility. Human data are lacking. No known adverse effects on fertility based on available evidence. |
| Patient Advice | This is a fictional drug; no specific counseling points are available. |
