Acute stroke

Medicinal Benefits:

Citisung-Plus Tablet is used to treat acute stroke. Citisung-Plus Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely: Citicoline and Piracetam. Citicoline repairs the neuronal membrane by increasing the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It also repairs the damaged cholinergic neurons by potentiating acetylcholine production and reduces the build-up of free fatty acids at the site of stroke-induced nerve damage. Piracetam protects the brain and nervous system against shortness of oxygen. It also improves the activity of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine which helps in communication between brain cells. Together, Citisung-Plus Tablet helps treat stroke.
