Description
Citicoline Sodium is a brain chemical that occurs naturally in the body. It is commonly used as a neuroprotective agent and plays a crucial role in brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of phospholipids, particularly phosphatidylcholine, a key component of neuronal membranes.
Citicoline Sodium Tablets IP 500 mg are formulated to support cognitive function, improve neurological performance, and aid in the recovery of patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, cognitive impairment, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Mechanism of Action:
Citicoline works by:
- Enhancing the biosynthesis of structural phospholipids in neuronal membranes.
- Stimulating the production of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and dopamine.
- Reducing the accumulation of free fatty acids at the site of brain injury.
- Improving cerebral blood flow and oxygen utilization.
Uses:
- Ischemic stroke recovery support
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Cognitive impairment and memory loss
- Parkinson’s disease adjunctive therapy
- Vascular dementia and age-related cognitive decline
