What is the role of Colcit 2 Injection in stroke?
In cases of stroke caused by blood clots, oral Colcit 2 injection can help patients recover completely within 3 months. Intravenous administration (direct injection into a vein) within 12 hours of stroke can also aid in recovery, potentially even faster than oral administration.
