ATC code N06BX06.

Pharmacological Properties

Pharmacodynamics

Citicoline stimulates the biosynthesis of structural phospholipids in neuronal membranes, as confirmed by magnetic resonance spectroscopy data. Due to this mechanism of action, citicoline enhances the function of ion-exchange pumps and receptors, the modulation of which is necessary for normal nerve impulse conduction. Thanks to its stabilizing effect on neuronal membranes, citicoline accelerates the reabsorption of brain edema and thus exhibits anti-edematous properties.

Citicoline inhibits the activation of certain phospholipases (A1, A2, C, and D), reduces the formation of free radicals, prevents the destruction of membrane systems, and preserves antioxidant defense systems such as glutathione.

Citicoline maintains neuronal energy reserves, inhibits apoptosis, and improves cholinergic transmission by stimulating acetylcholine synthesis. Citicoline also exerts a preventive neuroprotective effect in focal cerebral ischemia.

Citicoline significantly improves functional recovery outcomes in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disorders, slowing the progression of ischemic brain tissue damage as demonstrated by neuroimaging data.

In traumatic brain injuries, citicoline accelerates recovery and reduces the duration and severity of post-traumatic syndrome.

Citicoline improves levels of attention and consciousness, alleviates cognitive and neurological deficits associated with cerebral ischemia, and helps reduce symptoms of amnesia.

Pharmacokinetics

Citicoline is well absorbed after oral administration. After drug intake, a significant increase in plasma choline levels is observed. The drug is almost completely absorbed following oral administration. Bioavailability after oral and parenteral administration is nearly equivalent.

The drug is metabolized in the intestine and liver, forming choline and cytidine. After administration, citicoline is taken up by brain tissues, where choline acts on phospholipids and cytidine acts on cytidine nucleotides and nucleic acids. Citicoline rapidly reaches brain tissue and is actively incorporated into cell membranes, cytoplasm, and mitochondria, stimulating phospholipid activity.

Only a small amount of the administered dose is excreted in urine and feces (less than 3%). Approximately 12% of the administered dose is excreted via the respiratory tract. Elimination of the drug in urine and through the respiratory tract occurs in two phases: the first phase—rapid elimination (in urine—within the first 36 hours, via respiratory tract—within the first 15 hours), the second phase—slow elimination.

Clinical characteristics.

Indications.

  • Stroke, acute phase of cerebral circulation disorders and their neurological consequences.
  • Traumatic brain injury and its neurological consequences.
  • Cognitive and behavioral disorders due to chronic vascular and degenerative cerebral disorders.

Contraindications.

  • Hypersensitivity to citicoline or to any of the other components of the drug.
  • Increased parasympathetic nervous system tone.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interactions.

Citicoline enhances the effect of levodopa. Should not be administered simultaneously with drugs containing meclofenoxate.

Special precautions for use.

The medicinal product contains lactose. If the patient has been diagnosed with an intolerance to certain sugars, consult a physician before taking this medicinal product.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

There is insufficient data on the use of citicoline in pregnant women. Citicoline should not be used during pregnancy except when clearly needed. The drug should be prescribed during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Data regarding the passage of citicoline into breast milk and its effects on the infant are lacking.

Ability to influence the reaction rate when driving or operating machinery.

In individual cases, certain adverse reactions related to the central nervous system may affect the ability to drive or operate complex machinery.

Method of administration and dosage.

The recommended dose is 500 to 2000 mg per day (1-4 tablets), depending on the severity of symptoms and patient's condition.

Dosage and duration of treatment are determined by a physician.

Elderly patients do not require dose adjustment.

Children.

Experience with the use of the drug in children is limited; therefore, the drug should be prescribed only when the expected benefit outweighs any potential risk.

Overdose.

No cases of overdose have been reported.

Adverse reactions.

Psychiatric disorders: hallucinations, excitement, insomnia.

Nervous system disorders: severe headache, dizziness, tremor.

Cardiovascular disorders: arterial hypertension, arterial hypotension, tachycardia.

Respiratory system disorders: dyspnea (shortness of breath).

Gastrointestinal disorders: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, hypersalivation, slight changes in liver function tests, occasional diarrhea.

Immune system disorders: allergic reactions including rash, itching, angioedema, anaphylactic shock, redness, urticaria, exanthema, purpura.

General disorders: chills, increased body temperature, feeling of heat, swelling.

Shelf life.

3 years.

Storage conditions.

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Packaging.

10 tablets in a blister; 1 blister in a cardboard package.
