Vascular dementia: As an activator of human metabolism, citicoline sodium can enter the brain tissue of the patient through the blood-brain barrier, improve the blood flow in the brain, help restore nerve function and accelerate the recovery of patients[1] . In addition to improving cognitive impairment, citicoline sodium capsules can also reduce the incidence of sequelae of vascular dementia, and can effectively improve the prognosis.

Cerebral infarction: Research shows that Citicoline Sodium Capsules can significantly improve the cognitive function and living ability of patients with cerebral infarction. Moreover, it has less adverse drug reactions, and is a drug that can safely and effectively treat cerebral infarction.
