Citicoline

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