WHAT MEMENTOR IS USED FOR?
Mementor contains Memantine
Hydrochloride. It is used for
treatment of patients with moderate
to severe Alzheimer’s disease.
HOW MEMENTOR WORKS
Memantine Hydrochloride belongs to
a group of medicines known as anti-
dementia medicines. Memory loss in
Azheimer’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
Hydrochloride belongs to group of
medicines called NMDA- receptor
antagonists. Mementor acts on these
NMDA-receptors improving the
transmission of nerve signals and
memory.
BEFORE YOU USE MEMENTOR
_When you must not use it_
If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to
Memantine hydrochloride, or any
other ingredients of mementor film-
coated tablets
_Before you start to use it_
_Talk to your doctor or pharmacist_
_before taking Memantor_
- If you have a history epileptic
seizures
-
If you have recently experienced a
myocardial infarction (heart attack),
or if you are suffering from
congestive heart failure or from an
uncontrolled hypertension (high
blood pressure).In these situations
the treatment should be carefully
supervised, and the clinical benefit
of Mementor reassessed by your
doctor on a regular basis.
If you suffer from renal impairment
(kidney problem), your doctor should
closely monitor your kidney function
and if necessary adapt the Mementor
doses accordingly.

PHARMACODYNAMICS / PHARMACOKINETICS
PHARMACODYNAMICS
There is
increasing evidence that
malfunctioning of
glutamatergic neurotransmission,
in
particular
at
NMDA-receptors,
contributes
to both expression of
symptoms
and disease
progression in neurodegenerative dementia.
Memantine
is
a
voltage-dependent,
moderate-affinity
uncompetitive
NMDA-receptor
antagonist.
It modulates the effects of pathologically elevated tonic levels of
glutamate that
may lead to neuronal dysfunction.
PHARMACOKINETICS
_Absorption:_ Memantine has an absolute bioavailability of
approximately 100%. t
max
is between
3 and 8 hours. There is no indication that food influences the
absorption of memantine.
_Distribution:_ Daily doses of 20 mg lead to steady-state plasma
concentrations of memantine
ranging from 70 to 150 ng/ml (0.5-1 μmol) with large inter-individual
variations. When daily
doses of 5 to 30 mg were administered, a mean cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF)/serum ratio of 0.52
was calculated.
The volume of distribution is around 10 l/kg.
About
45% of memantine is
bound to plasma-proteins.
_Biotransformation:_ It is reported that in man, about 80% of the
circulating memantine-related
material
is present
as the parent
compound.
Main human metabolites are N-3,5-dimethyl-
gludantan, the isomeric mixture of 4- and 6-hydroxy-memantine, and
1-nitroso-3,5-dimethyl-
adamantane. None of these metabolites exhibit NMDA-antagonistic
activity. No cytochrome
P 450 catalysed metabolism has been reported
