PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR ADMINISTERING CHOLINE

摘要

A pharmaceutical composition comprises choline, or a natural or synthetic compound that dissociates to form choline, and a drug and is administered to a patient in order to potentiate the effect of the drug by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain or other tissues, and/or to suppress, or block the development of, unwanted side-effects of the drug, by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain or other tissues. Suitable choline precursors are lecithin and choline chloride. The composition is effective in suppresing tardive dyskinesia when used to administer anti-psychotic drugs.
