1. WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Nemdatine is intended for the treatment of moderate to severe
Alzheimer’s
disease.
THERAPEUTIC CLASS: NMDA receptor antagonist.
Nemdatine belongs to a group of medicines for the treatment of
dementia.
The memory loss typical of Alzheimer’s disease is due to a
disturbance in
transmission of nerve signals in the brain. The brain contains
receptors
called NMDA receptors. These receptors are involved in transmission of
nerve signals that are important for learning and memory. Nemdatine
acts
on NMDA receptors, thus improving the transmission of nerve signals
and
the memory.
