FAQs
I have been prescribed Citizac Tablet for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Citizac Tablet is a form of an essential nutrient called choline which is naturally present in the body. It protects the nerve cells in the brain from damage and also helps to repair the damaged nerve cells. Therefore, it improves learning, memory, and cognitive function (processing information or perception) in Alzheimer’s disease.
Can I take alcohol during treatment with Citizac Tablet?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Citizac Tablet. However, since Citizac Tablet is prescribed for stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, head injury, and age-related memory impairment, it is best to avoid the consumption of alcohol.
Can students take Citizac Tablet to improve memory and learning?

What is the role of Citizac Tablet in stroke?
In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, taking Citizac Tablet orally can help the patient recover completely within 3 months.
