Memantine Treats Moderate To Severe Alzheimer’s disease

Description

Memantine is a prescription medication sold under the brand Namenda, Axura, and Ebixa. It is to be taken by mouth. It is prescribed for treating moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. Remember, it will not cure Alzheimer’s disease; it will only help to improve the symptoms of the condition – such as memory loss, cognitive decline, and inability to perform daily tasks.

Memantine was approved in the United States in 2003 for medical use. The generic form of this medication is also available in the market. Memantine works by decreasing the action of chemicals in the brain that may lead to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Chemically, it is denoted as 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantane and its molecular formula is C12H21N•HCl with the molecular weight of 215.76. It appears as a fine white to off-white powder and is water-soluble.

Action Mechanism

Uninterrupted activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the central nervous system triggered by glutamate are thought to produce some of the symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease. This over activation is assumed to contribute to neurotoxicity because of the excitatory properties of glutamate. Memantine blocks the effects of glutamate, a neurotransmitter present inside the brain, which produces neuronal excitability and excessive stimulation in Alzheimer's disease. The onset of action and the duration of effect is not clinically established for this medication.

Customer's Review

Average Rating : 5 / 5

Ida Gillette, Texas, United States
My husband has had Parkinson’s for more than 6 years. He started having memory problems 3 years ago. He was advised a few medications before switching on to memantine twice a day. Memantine has been working quite well on him and his memory has improved a bit. I think his Parkinson’s is also improving a bit. Overall, I happy that memantine is working well on him.
