Citigram 500mg Tablet

Citigram 500mg Tablet is used to treat stroke, head trauma or injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and glaucoma. A stroke occurs due to an insufficient blood supply to the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive age-related memory loss.

Citigram 500mg Tablet contains Citicoline, which is used to nourish and minimise damage to the nerve cells in various conditions associated with the brain. It increases the activity of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

Citigram 500mg Tablet may cause common side effects, such as nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, abdominal pain, headache, blurred vision, insomnia, hypotension, increased or decreased heart rate, and restlessness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor immediately.
