Pharmacological effect Citicoline:
Nootropic drug.
Citicoline, a precursor of key ultracostructural components of the cell membrane (mainly phospholipids), has a wide range of action: promotes repair of damaged cell membranes, inhibits the action of phospholipase, preventing excessive formation of free radicals, and prevents cell death by acting on the mechanisms of apoptosis.
In the acute stroke period, citicoline reduces the amount of damage to brain tissue and improves cholinergic transmission.
