Citicoline is a cytidine diphosphate choline, an organic molecule produced endogenously & found in all the living cells.
Role of Citicoline in Glaucoma:

• Citicoline is a neuroprotective and neuro restorative that helps strengthen and repair neuronal membranes.
• Citicoline significantly improves retinal and bioelectrical responses in glaucoma patients.
• Citicoline given orally improves visual evoked potentials in glaucoma patients
• Citicoline stimulates dopamine a major neurotransmitter in retina and post retinal visual pathways therefore functional improvement is observed in treatment of glaucoma Retinal Visual Pathway
• Citicoline is administered as a useful complement to conventional therapy, since it acts positively on the glaucomatous optic nerve damage. So, Citicoline a neuro-protective and neuro generative drug protects the optic nerve from damage and maintains healthy synapses by regenerating dopamine synthesis.
