Somazina , whose active ingredient is citicoline , is a neuroprotective medication known for its brain function-supporting properties. It is thought to promote brain cell regeneration and is used as a complementary treatment for post-stroke recovery, memory problems, and some neurological disorders.
What is Somazina?
Somazine is a molecule composed of choline and cytidine. It supports cognitive functions by increasing acetylcholine production in the brain. It also contributes to the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a component of cell membranes. Therefore, it plays a role in promoting cell regeneration.
Active Ingredient
Citicoline (Citicoline / CDP-Choline)
Repairing effect on nerve cell membranes
Potential to enhance neurotransmission
What is it used for?
Supporting the recovery process after stroke
Preserving cognitive functions after traumatic brain injury
Supportive treatment in Alzheimer's and similar types of dementia
Helpful solution for memory and concentration problems
Complementary therapy in Parkinson's disease
How Does Somazina Work?
Somazina helps repair neuron membranes by increasing phospholipid synthesis in the brain. It also protects nerve cells from overstimulation by regulating glutamate levels. This mechanism provides both a protective and restorative effect.
What Forms Does It Come In?
Oral solution: A drink form taken by mouth (usually 500 mg/10 ml)
Tablet: Swallowed, suitable for long-term use
Ampoule: Intravenous or intramuscular injection (in hospital conditions)
How to Use?
The dosage and duration of Somazina are determined by the doctor based on the severity of the disease, the patient's age, and their response to treatment.
General Instructions for Use
500 mg oral solution or tablet 1-2 times daily
Ampoule form should be applied by healthcare personnel.
Somazina is generally well tolerated. However, some people may experience mild side effects, including:
Headache
Sleep disorders
Diarrhea or upset stomach
Mild low blood pressure
If a serious side effect occurs, the use of the medication should be stopped and a doctor should be consulted.
Where to Get Somazina?
Somazina is a prescription medication available from pharmacies. A neurologist should evaluate you before treatment. Use without a prescription is not recommended.
Things to Consider
Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Use in children should only be with a doctor's recommendation.
The doctor should be informed about the risk of interaction with other neurological drugs.
It should be stored in a cool and dry place, out of reach of children.
