Citisung 500mg Tablet contains Citicoline, which is used to support recovery and protect nerve cells in conditions affecting the brain. It is used as an adjunct treatment in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury (head trauma), vascular cognitive impairment (including Alzheimer's disease), and sometimes to support therapy in Parkinson's disease. Emerging research suggests that Citicoline may also help protect the optic nerve in glaucoma when used in conjunction with standard treatments. Citicoline works by increasing phospholipid synthesis in the brain, thereby helping to repair neuronal membranes and support neurotransmitter function, which may improve memory, learning, judgment, and cognitive processes. Common side effects of Citisung 500mg Tablet may include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, headache, blurred vision, insomnia, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, and restlessness. Before using this medication, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and discuss all other medications and medical conditions to avoid potential interactions or side effects.

Whats That
About Citisung 500mg Tablet
Citisung 500mg Tablet belongs to a class of medicines called nootropics (or psychostimulants). It is used to treat various medical conditions such as stroke, head injury, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia associated with Parkinson’s disease. A stroke occurs when the brain does not receive enough blood supply. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition that causes memory loss. Parkinson’s disease is a long-term brain disorder affecting movement. Citicoline may be used alongside standard treatments, as advised by your doctor.
Citisung 500mg Tablet contains Citicoline, which helps nourish and protect nerve cells in the brain. It works by increasing the activity of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and supports the regeneration of nerve cells by promoting the synthesis of phospholipids (which form neuronal membranes). This action helps improve learning, memory, judgment, and thinking processes. Citicoline may also aid recovery in patients with reduced consciousness following head injury or other brain-related problems, especially after surgery.
Citisung 500mg Tablet may cause common side effects, such as nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, headache, blurred vision, insomnia (trouble sleeping), low blood pressure, changes in heart rate (faster or slower), and restlessness. Most side effects are mild and do not require medical attention. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately.
Before taking Citisung 500mg Tablet, inform your doctor about any allergies or hypersensitivity reactions you have to medicines or food. Let your doctor know if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss this with your doctor so they can weigh the benefits and any potential risks. Always keep your doctor informed about your health conditions and any other medications you are taking to help avoid potential side effects or drug interactions.
Uses of Citisung 500mg Tablet
Citisung 500mg Tablet is used to support recovery and protect nerve cells in conditions affecting the brain, which are detailed below:
Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Citisung 500mg Tablet 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.
