title: Piracetam does not change the anaesthetic requirement for halothane.
abstract: MAC of halothane was determined in rats before and after the injection of piracetam 0.5 or 2.5 g kg-1, or both. No consistent changes in MAC were found. We conclude that piracetam is unlikely to influence halothane requirement appreciably.
