About Cholinesave Tablet

Cholinesave Tablet is used to boost brain performance or wakefulness, enhance mood, and improve cognitive ability in persons dealing with neurodegenerative diseases like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson's disease. Neurodegenerative diseases mean the death of neurons that can affect a person's speech, memory, intelligence, movement, and much more.  Our brain is made of billions of neurons (cells in the brain) that communicate with each other to perform daily activities of the day. These neurons are closely connected, and even a small miscommunication in one area can affect brain activities, resulting in neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer's disease, the brain cells degenerate and die, which causes a gradual decline in behavioural and social skills and thinking ability (dementia), which affects a person's ability to function independently. Parkinson’s disease is a central nervous system disorder affecting movement and locomotion. It causes stiffness, shaking, difficulty walking, coordination, and balance.

Cholinesave Tablet contains Ginkgo biloba,  Piracetam, and Vinpocetine. Ginkgo biloba improves blood flow to the brain and acts as an antioxidant (natural substituent that slows down cell damage). Piracetam falls in the category of drugs called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. This drug increases the levels of a substance (acetylcholine) in the brain, which is involved in improving memory functioning by slowing down the breakdown of acetylcholine (a substance that allows nerves to communicate and is important for normal brain functioning). Vinpocetine works like a neuroprotective agent that minimizes damage to the brain. It also prevents the risk of blood clotting in the brain, which makes brain cells (neurons) die. All three drugs, in combination, improve a person's mood, memory, and thinking ability.

Take Cholinesave Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Cholinesave Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. The most common side effects of Cholinesave Tablet include flushing (sense of warmth in ears, neck, face, and trunk), weight gain, upset stomach, rash, nervousness, and abnormality of voluntary movements.  This happens because the body is adjusting to the new medicine. If a person notices severe side effects of medicine or if side effects do not go away within a couple of days, then they need to consult with the doctor immediately.

Do not take Cholinesave Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. If you have a heart rhythm disorder, a stomach ulcer, urination problems, asthma or other breathing disorders, seizure, or liver or kidney disease, inform your doctor before taking this medicine.

These neurons are closely connected, and even a small miscommunication in one area can affect brain activities, resulting in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and 

Alzheimer's disease: This is a chronic progressive disease in which the brain cells degenerate and die and is the most common cause of dementia.  Dementia affects a person's ability to function independently and affects a person's thinking, judgment, behaviour, and memory. Persons dealing with this disease face symptoms like memory loss that affects daily activities, difficulty in doing familiar tasks and problem-solving, trouble in speech or writing, decreased judgment /personal hygiene, and personality changes.

Parkinson’s disease: It is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement due to damage of nerve cells in the brain, which reduces dopamine levels and leads to symptoms such as stiffness, tremors in one hand, shaking, difficulty walking, coordination, and balance. This condition can last for many years or a lifetime. Treatment with medicines and physiotherapy may help control the symptoms and provide a quality life for as long as possible.
