1. What is SOMAZINA 500 mg INJECTABLE SOLUTION and what is it used for

Somazina belongs to a group of medications called psychostimulants and nootropics, which act by improving brain function.

Somazina is used to treat memory and behavioral disorders associated with:

  • a stroke, which is an interruption of blood supply to the brain due to a clot or rupture of a blood vessel, in the acute and subacute phase.
  • a head injury, which is a blow to the head.

2. BEFORE USING SOMAZINA 500 mg INJECTABLE SOLUTION

Do not use Somazina

  • if you are allergic to citicoline or any of the other components of Somazina.
  • if you have parasympathetic nervous system hypertonia, which is a severe condition with low blood pressure, sweating, tachycardia, and fainting.

Be careful when using Somazina

  • When administered in case of persistent intracranial hemorrhage, no more than 1000 mg per day should be administered, by slow intravenous infusion (30 drops/minute).

Use of other medications

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those purchased without a prescription.

Somazina enhances the effects of L-Dopa, so it should not be administered at the same time as medications containing L-Dopa, without consulting your doctor. Medications containing L-Dopa are usually used to treat Parkinson's disease.

Somazina should not be administered in conjunction with medications containing meclofenoxate, which is a brain stimulant medication.

Use of Somazina with food and drinks

If your doctor indicates, Somazina can be used with meals or outside of them.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication. Somazina, like most medications, should not be administered if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or during breastfeeding, unless your doctor considers it necessary.

Driving and using machines

No effects on the ability to drive and use machinery have been observed.

3. HOW TO USE SOMAZINA 500 mg INJECTABLE SOLUTION

Follow your doctor's instructions for administering Somazina exactly. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

The normal dose is 500 mg to 2000 mg per day, depending on the severity of your illness.

Somazina can be administered intramuscularly, by slow intravenous infusion (3 to 5 minutes, depending on the dose), or by intravenous drip infusion (40 to 60 drops per minute).

Somazina is compatible with all isotonic intravenous solutions. It can also be mixed with hypertonic glucose solution.

If your doctor indicates, this medication can be administered orally. The contents of the ampoule can be taken directly or dissolved in half a glass of water (120 ml) with meals or outside of them.

Use in children

Somazina has not been adequately studied in children, so it should only be administered if your doctor considers it necessary.

If you use more Somazina than you should

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount used.

If you forget to use Somazina

In case of forgetting a dose, wait for the next one. Do not use a double dose to make up for the missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Somazina

Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with Somazina. Do not stop treatment before consulting your doctor.

If you have any other questions about using this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The side effects of this medication are very rare (less than 1 in 10,000 patients). Headache, dizziness, nausea, occasional diarrhea, facial flushing, swelling of the extremities, and changes in blood pressure may occur. If you experience any of these or other symptoms, inform your doctor.
