Citicoline

Is the primary active ingredient.

Cognitive impairment associated with age-related decline or neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia). Note: Efficacy varies and may be used as adjunctive therapy.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), to potentially improve neurological outcomes. Note: Used as supportive therapy and efficacy varies.

Treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), aiding in neurological recovery.

Other neurological conditions, such as glaucoma, where neuroprotection is beneficial (offlabel use).

Wancocit 500 Tablet (Citicoline) is a precursor to phosphatidylcholine, a vital component of cell membranes, particularly in brain tissue. It enhances the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, leading to improved neuronal membrane integrity and function. This supports neurotransmission, improves cerebral blood flow, and potentially reduces neuronal damage from ischemic events. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate its mechanisms.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Protect from freezing. Follow specific storage instructions on the product label.

Dosage varies depending on the indication, patient's condition, and physician's recommendation. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage.
