In a short-term, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 12 healthy adults took Citicoline at daily doses of 600 mg and 1,000 mg or placebo for consecutive 5-day periods. Transient headaches occurred in 4 subjects on the 600 mg dose, 5 on the 1,000 mg dose, and 1 on placebo. No changes or abnormalities were observed in haematology, clinical biochemistry or neurological tests. A large drug surveillance study analysed the results of Citicoline treatment in 2,817 patients aged 60 to 80 years, suffering from senility and cerebral vascular insufficiency. A total of 151 incidents of side effects were recorded, representing 5% of the patient sample. The most common adverse effects were transient in nature and included stomach pain and diarrhoea in 102 cases. Vascular symptoms of hypotension, tachycardia or bradycardia occurred in 16 cases.
