Citifest 500mg Tablet acts as a crucial guardian in the brain during periods of reduced blood flow, known as ischemia. Its primary role involves blocking the activation of phospholipase A2, an enzyme that can cause cellular damage.  Additionally, citicoline aids in the production of vital antioxidants like glutathione, which help protect brain cells from damage.

Essentially, citicoline serves as a defender, safeguarding and supporting brain cells, particularly under challenging conditions such as ischemia.

To use citicoline effectively, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions. This medication is available in various forms, such as tablets and liquid solutions.

Tablets should be swallowed whole, and liquid doses measured accurately.  Although citicoline can be taken with or without food, taking it at the same time each day is recommended for optimal results.

Citicoline might have a mild blood-thinning effect, so those with bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant medications should use it cautiously. Always inform healthcare providers about all medications and supplements you're taking. Additionally, citicoline may lower the seizure threshold, so individuals with seizure disorders should use it under close medical supervision.

Common side effects can include headache, edema (swelling), insomnia, anxiety, hypotension (low blood pressure), weakness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. If you experience these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.

If you miss a dose of citicoline, take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next dose is nearly due, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Avoid taking two doses at once For guidance on missed doses, consult your doctor.
