Strocitplus is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth short-term (up to 90 days). The safety of long-term use is not known. Most people who take citicoline ( strocitplus) don't experience problematic side effects. But some people can have side effects such as trouble sleeping (insomnia), headache, diarrhea, low or high blood pressure, nausea, blurred vision, chest pains, and others. Further I suggest to discuss with your doctor.
As per my suggestion its a good tablet for people having brain trauma or stroke, because it helps to generate a chemical in brain called as phosphatidycholine. It is good for normal functioning of brain. As well strocit plus also helps to reduce on going damage in brain.
I am sure this must be useful for you. Take care and follow up further with your doctor for detail discussion on medication.
