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