Frequently asked questions about Citicop Products
Frequently asked questions about Citicoline
Q. I have been prescribed Citicop Injection for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Citicop 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 Citicop Injection?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Citicop Injection. However, since Citicop 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 Citicop Injection to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Citicop Injection since studies show that Citicop 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 Citicop Injection in stroke?
In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, taking Citicop Injection orally can help the patient recover completely within 3 months. Also, giving Citicop 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.
