Citicoline Sodium Injection is used to promote brain health. It is used to treat stroke, head injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and glaucoma. It protects the brain from neurotoxicity (damage to the brain).
Citicoline Sodium Injection is a nerve-protecting medicine used for various purposes. Let me provide you with some information about it:
Uses:
- Stroke: Citicoline is used in the treatment of stroke.
- Head Injury: It is also beneficial for patients with head injuries.
- Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia in Parkinson’s Disease: Citicoline helps manage symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia associated with Parkinson’s disease.
How It Works:
- Citicoline nourishes nerve cells, protects them from damage, and improves their survival.
- It achieves this by producing certain brain chemicals, including phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine.
- Additionally, it reduces the buildup of free fatty acids at the site of nerve damage.
Common side effects may include headache, edema (swelling), insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), anxiety, hypotension (low blood pressure), weakness, and gastrointestinal disturbances1.
Remember to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice, and if you have further questions or need additional information, feel free to ask! 😊1
