Frequently asked questions
I have been prescribed CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION for Alzheimer’s disease. What is its role, and how does it work?
CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION is a form of choline, an essential nutrient naturally present in the body. Choline protects brain nerve cells from damage and aids in repairing damaged nerve cells. This improvement leads to better learning, memory, and cognitive function (processing information or perception) in Alzheimer's disease.
Can I take alcohol during treatment with CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION?
There are no studies to determine the effect of alcohol on treatment with CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION. However, as CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION is prescribed for stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, head injury, and age-related memory impairment, it is best to avoid alcohol consumption.
Can students take CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION to improve memory and learning?
No, students should not take CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION since studies show that CEHAM 1000MG INJECTION is effective only in age-related memory problems, memory problems associated with long-standing stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, there is no data available for its use in children.
