Medicinal Benefits:

CITELEC OD TABLET 1GM contains Citicoline, a neuroprotective agent that supports the repair and function of nerve cells in the brain and eyes. It works by enhancing the synthesis of phospholipids, which are vital components of cell membranes, particularly in neurons. Citicoline helps improve communication between nerve cells and supports the production of important neurotransmitters. Clinically, it is used as an adjunct treatment in stroke recovery, head trauma, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson’s disease to improve memory, attention, and overall cognitive function. Additionally, emerging evidence suggests Citicoline may help protect the optic nerve in conditions like glaucoma, supporting visual function when used alongside standard therapies.
