it increases choline stores available for other biosynthetic pathways. It appears to decrease glutamate levels in the brain and increase adenosine triphosphate, which in turn offers protection against ischemic neurotoxicity.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
CLINAXON 250MG is given by doctor or nurse. It can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly at the same recommended daily dose.
CLINAXON 250MG/ML INJECTION 2ML belongs to a group of medications called ‘psychostimulants’ used to treat stroke, head trauma or injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and glaucoma. A stroke occurs due to insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive age-related memory loss. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects movement. Glaucoma is an eye problem that occurs due to damage to the optic nerve, responsible for vision.
CLINAXON 250MG/ML INJECTION 2ML contains ‘Citicoline’, a psychostimulant or nootropic used to nourish and minimize damage to the nerve cells in various conditions associated with the brain. It increases the activity of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It regenerates nerve cells by promoting the synthesis of phospholipids (forms neuronal membrane) in the brain.
It improves learning, memory, judging, and thinking processes. It can improve recovery in patients with disturbance in consciousness in patients with head injury or any other problems associated with the brain and who underwent surgery.
CLINAXON 250MG/ML INJECTION 2ML is available in the form of a tablet or injection. The tablet form is swallowed as a whole; do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.

Q. I have been prescribed Clinaxon 4mg Injection for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Clinaxon 4mg Injection is a form of an essential nutrient called choline which is naturally present in the body. It protects the nerve cells in the brain from damage and also helps to repair the damaged nerve cells. Therefore, it improves learning, memory, and cognitive function (processing information or perception) in Alzheimer’s disease.
Q. Can I take alcohol during treatment with Clinaxon 4mg Injection?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Clinaxon 4mg Injection. However, since Clinaxon 4mg Injection is prescribed for stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, head injury, and age-related memory impairment, it is best to avoid the consumption of alcohol.
Q. Can students take Clinaxon 4mg Injection to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Clinaxon 4mg Injection since studies show that Clinaxon 4mg Injection is effective only in age-related memory problems, memory problems associated with long-standing stroke, and in Alzheimer’s disease.
