Frequently asked questions about Atcolin Products
Frequently asked questions about Citicoline
Q. I have been prescribed Atcolin Injection for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Atcolin Injection 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.
Q. Can I take alcohol during treatment with Atcolin Injection?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Atcolin Injection. However, since Atcolin Injection 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.
Q. Can students take Atcolin Injection to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Atcolin Injection since studies show that Atcolin Injection 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.
Q. What is the role of Atcolin Injection in stroke?
In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, taking Atcolin Injection orally can help the patient recover completely within 3 months. Also, giving Atcolin Injection either intravenously (injecting the medicine in vein directly) within 12 hours of having a stroke or daily for 7 days after the stroke can help the patient recover sooner.
