Citicoline + Piracetam Syrup

Citicoline + Piracetam Syrup comes with the brand name “CITICALM-PLUS” and belongs to a category of medications called central nervous system agents used to treat acute stroke. A stroke is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted. Like all organs, the brain relies on blood for oxygen and nutrients to function properly. When blood flow is disrupted, brain cells begin to die, leading to stroke. 

Citicoline + Piracetam Syrup combines two medications: Citicoline and Piracetam. Citicoline helps repair damaged neurons and cholinergic neurons by increasing phosphatidylcholine synthesis and potentiating acetylcholine production, respectively. It also reduces the buildup of fatty acids in the affected area of the brain. Piracetam protects the brain and nervous system from oxygen shortages. Additionally, it enhances the activity of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine, which helps communicate between brain cells.
