Can somazine plus be given to patient of bifrontal contrusion .and can it also help in removing small clot from brain ## Somazina contains the active ingredient Citicoline and, in this case, I am going to have to advise you to listen to the relevant doctor. If they've prescribed it to be used for such, then their instructions should be followed. The reason I am saying this is due to the fact that not all countries, including the U.S. where I am located, consider this an actual medication. Here it is just used as a dietary supplement. However, testing has shown it to have certain beneficial effects to the brain and cognitive function. What other remedies have been tried? Learn more Somazina details here.
