60 Years, Has SN Hearing Loss. Asked To Take Steroid And Nootropil. Advice?

Hello, My mother (age 60) has been diagnosed with SN Hearing Loss . The problem started a week back. She went to ENT specialist today, and has been prescribed some steroid and Nootropil for 14 days. She is asked to start her medication as soon as possible. Although she started steroid, we are little concerned about the other medicine: Nootropil.
