Citolin 500mg 5ml Syrup

Citolin 500mg 5ml Syrup contains Citicoline 500mg, a brain-support (nootropic) medicine. Made by Global Pharmaceuticals, it is prescribed for stroke recovery, head injury, memory problems and age-related cognitive decline. Pack size: 60ml.

Uses of Citolin 500mg 5ml Syrup

Citolin 500mg 5ml Syrup is prescribed by some doctors to support recovery after an ischaemic stroke or head injury, and for memory and thinking problems linked to reduced blood flow to the brain or to ageing. It is used alongside standard treatment and rehabilitation, not instead of them. The evidence for its benefit is mixed, so it is best used under medical supervision.

How Citolin 500mg 5ml Syrup works

Citicoline is broken down in the body into choline and cytidine, which the brain uses to build phosphatidylcholine, a key part of nerve cell membranes. It may help stabilise damaged brain cell membranes and support the production of acetylcholine, a messenger involved in memory and attention.

Possible side effects

Citicoline is usually well tolerated, though some people taking Citolin 500mg 5ml Syrup report:

• Headache
• Stomach upset or diarrhoea
• Restlessness or trouble sleeping
• Dizziness
• Nausea

Call for emergency help immediately if you notice sudden face drooping, arm or leg weakness, slurred speech, a severe headache or confusion, as these may be signs of a stroke.

Precautions and warnings

• Keep taking any blood pressure, blood-thinning or cholesterol medicines your doctor has prescribed, as citicoline does not replace them.
• Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, including levodopa for Parkinson’s disease, as citicoline may add to its effect.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after speaking to your doctor.
• Review with your doctor whether it is helping, as its benefits vary from person to person.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
