Frequently asked questions
I have been prescribed Megacholin RF Injection for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
Megacholin RF Injection provides choline, an essential nutrient naturally present in the body. This helps protect nerve cells in the brain from damage and aids in repairing damaged cells. This ultimately improves learning, memory, and cognitive function (processing information or perception) in Alzheimer's disease.
Can I take alcohol during treatment with Megacholin RF Injection?
There is no scientific evidence to determine the effect of alcohol on Megacholin RF Injection therapy. However, as Megacholin RF Injection is prescribed for stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, head injury, and age-related memory impairment, avoiding alcohol consumption is recommended.
Can students take Megacholin RF Injection to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take Megacholin RF Injection. This medication's effectiveness has been proven only in cases of age-related memory problems, stroke-associated memory impairment, and Alzheimer’s disease. There is no data available for its use in children.

In cases of stroke caused by blood clots, Megacholin RF Injection taken orally can aid patient recovery within 3 months. Intravenous (injecting the medicine directly into a vein) administration within 12 hours after a stroke or daily for 7 days after the stroke may accelerate recovery.
