Interactions with other medicines

• Some medicines can affect the way Strocit Tablet works, or Strocit itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
• Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
• Especially if you are taking medicines to treat brain-related disorders such as levodopa and meclofenoxate.

Interactions with food items

• Strocit 500 Tablet may be taken with or without food, though taking it after a meal reduces the mild nausea some people experience.
• Limit alcohol, which is directly toxic to nerve cells, worsens memory and thinking, and raises blood pressure.
• Diet after a stroke matters more than any supplement. Reduce salt to help blood pressure, cut fried food and saturated fat for cholesterol, and build meals around vegetables, fruit, whole grains, pulses and fish.
• Choline occurs naturally in eggs, fish, chicken, milk, soybeans and cruciferous vegetables, so a good diet supports the same pathway this medicine acts on.
• If you have swallowing difficulty after a stroke, ask your doctor or speech therapist before taking any tablet, as the form or route may need changing.
• Keep well hydrated and maintain regular meals, particularly if appetite has been affected by the illness.
