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 containing L-Acetylcarnitine, a derivative of the naturally occurring amino acid L-carnitine. This is a supplement used to treat a variety of conditions, predominantly those associated with metabolic function and energy production. L-Acetylcarnitine facilitates the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria where they are converted into energy. Each box of Nicetil contains 30 tablets, each comprised of 500 mg of L-Acetylcarnitine.

Pharmacology

L-Acetylcarnitine, the active ingredient in Nicetil, plays a crucial role in energy metabolism. It is involved in transporting fatty acids to the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, where they are oxidized to produce energy. This is particularly important in muscle tissues, which require large amounts of energy. In addition to its role in energy production, L-Acetylcarnitine has antioxidant properties and can protect against damage from free radicals. It may also have neuroprotective effects and has been used in the treatment of various neurological and cognitive disorders.

Indications

Nicetil is indicated in the treatment of:

• Conditions associated with L-carnitine deficiency
• Peripheral neuropathies
• Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive disorders

Contraindications

Nicetil is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to L-Acetylcarnitine or any of the other ingredients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dose of Nicetil is one tablet (500 mg) taken twice daily. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and can be taken with or without food. Dosage may be adjusted by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s response to treatment.

Side Effects

As with all medications, Nicetil may cause side effects in some patients. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Other less common side effects include restlessness, insomnia, headache, and skin rash. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience any other unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Precautions

Before starting treatment with Nicetil, inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements, as they may interact with L-Acetylcarnitine.
