Overview
Citivas 500 mg Tablet contains Citicoline Sodium (CDP-Choline), manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. Citicoline is a neuroprotective agent that supports the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a key component of neuronal cell membranes. It is used as an adjunct in the treatment of head trauma, stroke, cognitive impairment, and other conditions associated with neuronal damage or cerebrovascular insufficiency.
Dosage and Administration
Adults: 500 mg once or twice daily orally, or as prescribed by the physician. May be taken with or without food. Duration of therapy is based on the clinical condition and physician assessment.

May enhance the effects of levodopa; use with caution in Parkinson's disease patients on dopaminergic therapy. No significant interactions with common medications reported.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to citicoline or any component of the formulation. Use is not recommended in patients with vagotonia (parasympathetic hyperactivity).
Side Effects
Generally well tolerated. Occasionally, headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhoea, low or high blood pressure, and insomnia have been reported.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been conclusively established; avoid unless benefits outweigh risks and under physician supervision.
Precautions and Warnings
Use with caution in patients on dopaminergic drugs. Not a replacement for specific stroke or trauma treatment — use as an adjunct therapy as part of the overall management plan.
Storage Conditions
