Composition: Citicoline 500 mg and Piracetam 800 mg | Pack: 10’s | Prescription: required | Treats: memory and brain function
Understanding Memory and brain function
Brain cells need a steady supply of oxygen, glucose and structural building blocks to work well. After a stroke, head injury or in conditions that reduce blood flow to the brain, people may struggle with memory, attention, word-finding, dizziness, lack of initiative and slow thinking. Similar difficulties appear in age-related cognitive decline and in some learning and movement disorders. Neuroprotective medicines aim to support cell membranes, improve blood flow and help the brain’s own repair processes alongside rehabilitation and therapy.
How NUROCOT P 800 Tablet 10’s works
Citicoline provides raw material for rebuilding nerve cell membranes and supports acetylcholine, a messenger essential for memory. Piracetam improves membrane fluidity and red cell flexibility, helping blood and oxygen reach brain tissue through small vessels. Used together after stroke or head injury, they aim to support neuronal repair and the brain’s ability to reorganise during rehabilitation.
Key uses of NUROCOT P 800 Tablet 10’s
Your doctor may prescribe NUROCOT P 800 Tablet 10’s for one or more of the following:
- Cognitive impairment after stroke or head injury
- Memory, attention and language difficulties in cerebrovascular disease
- Supporting neurological rehabilitation
- Age-related cognitive decline, under medical supervision
How to take NUROCOT P 800 Tablet 10’s correctly
Take one tablet once or twice daily as prescribed, with or after food, and avoid a late evening dose if it disturbs sleep. Treatment is continued for weeks to months alongside physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Reduce the dose gradually rather than stopping abruptly, particularly if piracetam is being used for myoclonus.
Possible side effects of NUROCOT P 800 Tablet 10’s
Most people tolerate this medicine well, and many effects settle as the body adjusts. Tell your doctor if any of the following persists or troubles you:
- Restlessness, irritability or difficulty sleeping
- Headache and dizziness
- Nausea, diarrhoea or stomach discomfort
- Weight gain
- Changes in blood pressure
Precautions and warnings
Doses need adjustment in kidney impairment, and the combination is avoided in severe kidney failure and bleeding disorders because piracetam can affect platelets. Tell your doctor before any surgery and if you take blood thinners or levodopa. Continue treatment of blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, which matter far more for long-term brain health than any supplement.
Diet and lifestyle tips for memory and brain function
The strongest evidence for brain health comes from everyday habits: controlling blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, not smoking, staying physically active, sleeping seven to eight hours and staying socially and mentally engaged. Reading, puzzles, learning a new skill and regular conversation all help. For recovery after stroke or head injury, medicines support but do not replace physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Treat depression and hearing loss, both of which worsen memory problems.
Missed dose and storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep it in the original strip or bottle so the label and expiry stay with the medicine. Do not keep it in the bathroom or the refrigerator unless the pack says so, and keep it out of reach of children. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one, in which case skip it. Never take two doses together to make up.
