Nicetil (L-Acetylcarnitine, 30 tabs × 500 mg)

Description

Nicetil (L-Acetylcarnitine, 30 tabs × 500 mg)

Composition

Each tablet of Nicetil contains 500 mg of L-Acetylcarnitine as the active ingredient. Other non-active components include microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

Description

Nicetil is a medication based on L-Acetylcarnitine, a biologically active form of L-carnitine that plays a vital role in cellular energy metabolism. It supports the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. This mechanism makes Nicetil useful in various conditions associated with energy deficiency and metabolic disorders. Each box contains 30 tablets, each with 500 mg of the active substance.

Pharmacology

L-Acetylcarnitine contributes to efficient energy production, especially in tissues with high metabolic demand such as muscles and the nervous system. It also possesses antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Some research suggests its potential neuroprotective effects, which may benefit patients with cognitive decline.

Indications

Nicetil is indicated in the treatment of:

• L-carnitine deficiency states
• Peripheral neuropathies (including diabetic neuropathy)
• Age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (as adjunct therapy)

Contraindications

Do not use Nicetil if you are allergic to L-Acetylcarnitine or any other components of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in individuals with severe renal dysfunction.

Dosage and Administration

The standard recommended dose is 500 mg (1 tablet) twice daily. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water, with or without food. Dosage may be modified by a healthcare provider based on individual needs and clinical response.

Side Effects

Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Some users may experience restlessness, insomnia, or skin rash. If side effects persist or become bothersome, consult a medical professional.

Precautions

Before starting Nicetil, inform your doctor of any ongoing treatments, supplements, or chronic health conditions. Caution is advised during pregnancy, lactation, and in patients with seizure disorders.

Storage

Store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
