Picamilon is a dietary supplement and nootropic drugs. This is a combination of vitamin B3, also known as nicotinic acid and neurotransmitter GABA. The drug is taken orally, usually in powder or tablet form, and penetrates the blood-brain barrier. Once in the brain, it is hydrolyzed to GABA and niacin.
Since the role of the prescription is twofold, when the compound breaks down into its components in the brain, each person has a different influence. Nicotinic acid is the vascular nerve that causes the blood vessels in the brain. This in turn leads to increased blood flow, decreased blood pressure, and is believed to contribute to the treatment of migraine pain.
When the second part of Picamilon compound, GABA, is the brain's activity, is a belief that creating a mild anxiolytic effect. This is known as the anxiolytic response, which is due to the fact that GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA restriction, rather than encouraging specific brain function.
Picamilon is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and then is hydrolyzed into GABA and niacin. The released GABA in theory would activate GABA receptors potentially producing an anxiolytic response. The second released component, niacin acts as a strongvasodilator, which might be useful for the treatment of migraine headaches
