Citicoline is the drug of choice for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, especially chronic cerebrovascular diseases, because its pharmacological effects on the central nervous system justify its clinical use.

Pharmacological effects:

1. Actively interfere with brain energy metabolism.

2. Stimulate central nervous transmission.

3. Activate cell repair mechanism.

4. Reduce the size of ischemic lesions.

5. Inhibit ischemia-related apoptosis.

6. Synergistic effect with thrombolytic drugs and neuroprotective drugs.

In addition, citicoline has analgesic effects involving the cholinergic system, opioid and gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors, the arginine-vasopressin system, and Na + /K + ATPase activity.

Studies have found that citicoline sodium has a positive effect on learning and memory in elderly animals and can be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

3. What is the difference between citicoline and citicoline sodium?

Citicoline sodium is the sodium salt form of citicoline, and dietary supplement forms of citicoline are usually in the sodium form for absorption.
