Citicoline & Piracetam Tablets

Citicoline+ Piracetam is administered for acute stroke. Stroke is a medical emergency and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the blood supply to one part of the brain is severed. As with all organs, the brain relies on blood and its accompanying oxygen and nutrients for normal function. When the supply of blood is impaired or lost, brain tissue starts dying and causes stroke.

Citicoline+ Piracetam is an amalgamation of two drugs: Citicoline and Piracetam. Citicoline restores neuronal membrane and cholinergic neurons by augmenting phosphatidylcholine synthesis and augmenting the synthesis of acetylcholine, respectively. It decreases the accumulation of free fatty acids at the stroke-induced nerve damage site. Piracetam guards the brain and nervous system against brief shortages of oxygen. It enhances the functioning of a chemical messenger named acetylcholine, which facilitates communication between brain cells.
