Frequently asked questions FOR Citiclot P

Citicoline

Q. I have been prescribed Citicoline for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Citicoline 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 Citicoline?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Citicoline. However, since Citicoline 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 Citicoline to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Citicoline since studies show that Citicoline 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.

In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, taking Citicoline orally can help the patient recover completely within 3 months. Also, giving Citicoline 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.

Piracetam

Q. If I do not see an improvement in my symptoms, can I stop taking Piracetam?
No, do not stop taking Piracetam on your own. Stopping it suddenly may have unwanted effects like twitching and jerking movements. If Piracetam does not improve your symptoms, consult your doctor. The doctor may suggest a slow reduction of Piracetam dose.
Q. Who should avoid taking Piracetam?
You should not take Piracetam if you are allergic to Piracetam or any of the ingredients in the medicine. Also, avoid taking Piracetam if your kidney functions are severely deranged or if you ever had localized bleeding in the brain (cerebral hemorrhage). You should also avoid taking this medicine if you are suffering from Huntington’s disease/chorea (a genetic disorder where the brain cells die quickly causing deterioration of mental and physical abilities over time).
Q. What is the correct way of taking Piracetam?
