CITICOLN

The document summarizes a drug study for a 53-year-old male patient taking Citicoline to treat increased blood pressure. Citicoline is a nootropic and neurotropic drug classified for treatment of Parkinson's disease when taken with anticholinergics. It works by increasing blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain and assisting in lecithin biosynthesis. Potential side effects include shock, headache, nausea and temporary changes in blood pressure. The nursing responsibilities are to instruct the patient to take the drug as prescribed, monitor for adverse effects, and have the patient report any chest tightness, tingling, headache, diarrhea or vision changes.
