It helps protect nerve cells from damage, supports cell membrane repair, and improves blood flow to the brain.<br/> • Head Trauma or Brain Injury: Ctcolin Tablet aids in restoring brain function following head injury by reducing symptoms like memory loss, dizziness, disorientation, and impaired concentration.<br/> • Cognitive Disorders: Ctcolin Tablet helps slow cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia by improving blood flow to the brain.<br/> • Parkinson's disease: Ctcolin Tablet may be used alongside other medications to improve motor and cognitive symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease.<br/> • Vision Disorders: Ctcolin Tablet helps enhance visual performance in patients with glaucoma or other optic nerve disorders by supporting nerve cell function.<br/></p>

Medicinal Benefits:

Ctcolin Tablet contains 'Citicoline,' which belongs to the class of ‘psychostimulants.’ It is used to promote brain health. It is used to treat stroke, head injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and glaucoma. It protects the brain from neurotoxicity (damage to the brain). It acts as a precursor for phospholipids (present in the outer membrane of the nerve cell) and also stimulates phospholipid synthesis in the brain. It also stimulates blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain. This promotes brain activity and improves cognition, memory, and thinking capabilities in patients with progressive brain disorders. It accelerates the recovery rate in patients with neurological diseases (diseases affecting the brain).

There are no studies on the effect of alcohol on Ctcolin Tablet. However, it is advised to avoid alcohol consumption since Ctcolin Tablet is prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, head injury, and age-related memory impairment, and alcohol worsens neurological conditions.

No, students should not take Ctcolin Tablet because research indicates that Ctcolin Tablet is effective only in age-related memory problems, in Alzheimer’s disease and memory problems associated with long-standing stroke. Furthermore, there is information on the use of Ctcolin Tablet in children.

In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, Ctcolin Tablet can help them recover completely within 3 months. Also, giving Citicoline either intravenously (injecting into the vein directly) within 12 hours of having a stroke or daily for 7 days following the stroke can help the patient recover sooner.

Yes, Ctcolin Tablet has neuroprotective properties that could help improve memory and cognitive functions in people with neurological impairments.
