WHAT MEMANTINE MYLAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Memantine Mylan contains the active substance memantine. It belongs to
a group of medicines known
as anti-dementia medicines.
Memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease is due to a disturbance of
message signals in the brain. The brain
contains so-called N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptors that are
involved in transmitting nerve
signals important in learning and memory. Memantine Mylan belongs to a
group of medicines called
NMDA-receptor antagonists. Memantine Mylan acts on these
NMDA-receptors improving the
transmission of nerve signals and the memory.
Memantine Mylan is used for the treatment of patients with moderate to
severe Alzheimer’s disease.
