Citigram 250 MG Injection 2 ML contains citicoline (250 mg), which works on your body through various mechanisms:

• Increased Phosphatidylcholine Synthesis: Citicoline boosts the production of phosphatidylcholine, a key component of nerve cell membranes. This helps repair and stabilise neuronal membranes damaged by stroke, injury, or degeneration.
• Reduction of Free Fatty Acids Accumulation: By limiting the activity of phospholipase A2 enzyme, citicoline reduces the build-up of free fatty acids at sites where nerve tissue has been injured. This action helps prevent further damage.
• Enhanced Acetylcholine Production: Citicoline increases the production of acetylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory processes. This boost in acetylcholine levels enhances cognitive performance.
• Provision of Choline and Cytidine: Citicoline synthesises phosphatidylcholine and other neuronal membrane phospholipids, helping in membrane repair and neurogenesis.

• Store Citigram 250 MG Injection 2 ML in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.
• Keep it shielded from light exposure.
• As a safety measure, keep it out of reach from children at all times.

• Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into your diet. These foods may help to reduce inflammation in the brain.
• Regular gentle exercise can be beneficial for patients dealing with Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Activities like walking or yoga can help maintain physical health and potentially slow the progression of these conditions. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
