Abstract
Fasoracetam is a nootropic compound of the racetam class. It is a derivative of Piracetam, the first synthetically created nootropic. It has been suggested that Fasoracetam is a potentially effective nootropic for the treatment of ADHD, as well as related learning difficulties and cognitive disorders. However, there are few meta-analyses examining this potential use of Fasoracetam; much of the “evidence” relies on inference from studies looking at Piracetam. Furthermore, as a relatively new racetam, there is very little available evidence on the long-term risks associated with Fasoracetam use. This article looks at the available clinical data on Fasoracetam to ascertain its safety and efficacy as a treatment for ADHD. Ultimately, Fasoracetam is unlikely to help 90% of ADHD sufferers, and its efficacy as a nootropic remains unproven.
