WHAT AXURA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
HOW DOES AXURA WORK
Axura contains the active substance memantine hydrochloride.
Axura 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. Axura belongs to a group of
medicines called NMDA-
receptor antagonists. Axura acts on these NMDA-receptors improving the
transmission of nerve
signals and the memory.
WHAT IS AXURA USED FOR
Axura is used for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe
Alzheimer’s disease.
