Introducing CerAxon®, the First & Only Oral Solution Medical Food for Dietary Management of Brain Ischemia in Patients With Partially Impaired Swallow

Finally saw a google news feed on this, about 3 weeks ago I was contacted by the social media director of the company asking if I would like to try a sample and write about it. I got the sample but since it is for hyperacute therapy there was no point in me trying it. The other research I did on it is listed below.
The news release:

Citicoline(also known as CDP-Choline) is the active ingredient. I just posted about this 5 days ago.

Findings with citicoline show significant cognitive improvement among stroke patients.

Neuroprotection and Recovery
Recent Data at the Bench on Citicoline

It seems to be the only hyperacute drug out there that fixes parts of the neuronal cascade of death. This might have prevented my huge black hole after my tPA fix.
We should have at least a dozen drug possibilities for hyperacute therapy,I have postings on 62 of them. Then maybe our neurologists would have some actual work to do rather than stand around and hope we recover on our own. You will need to remember this on your own when you have your next stroke, I doubt it will get disseminated to the medical staff for 5-20 years.
