Q. I have been prescribed Citicalm Tablet for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Citicalm 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.
Q. Can I take alcohol during treatment with Citicalm Tablet?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Citicalm Tablet. However, since Citicalm 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.
