FAQs
I have been prescribed Vanocit Tablet for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Vanocit 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 Vanocit Tablet?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Vanocit Tablet. However, since Vanocit 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 Vanocit Tablet to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Vanocit Tablet since studies show that Vanocit Tablet is effective only in age-related memory problems, memory problems associated with long-standing stroke, and in Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, there is no data available for use of this medicine in children.
What is the role of Vanocit Tablet in stroke?
In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, taking Vanocit Tablet orally can help the patient recover completely within 3 months.
