FAQs
I have been prescribed Almocit Injection for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Almocit 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.
Can I take alcohol during treatment with Almocit Injection?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with Almocit Injection. However, since Almocit 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.
Can students take Almocit Injection to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Almocit Injection since studies show that Almocit Injection is effective only in age-related memory problems, memory problems associated with long-standing stroke, and in Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, there is no data available for use of this medicine in children.
What is the role of Almocit Injection in stroke?
In cases of stroke caused due to blood clots, taking Almocit Injection orally can help the patient recover completely within 3 months. Also, giving Almocit Injection either intravenously (injecting the medicine in vein directly) within 12 hours of having a stroke or daily for 7 days after the stroke can help the patient recover sooner.
