Side Effects
Question: I am looking for an over the counter drug to help enhance the brain/memory. The reason why I’m looking for a drug like this is because I am going to test them on rats for a scientific experiment. The experiment consists of three groups of rats, a controlled group, a group of rats on a high onpotein diet, and a last group on the drug. If it is a prescription drug please tell me how I would be able to acquire it.

Answer: Great idea;but, if we knew one we'd be using it -not researching it. Certain disease entities, Alzheimer's etc. have specific drugs to enhance ability. Generally healthy rats or people have no such known drug. There are some herbal drugs touted;but this is out of my area.
