Memantine hydrochloride extended-release capsules are indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dementia of the Alzheimer’s type. Memantine hydrochloride extended-release capsules are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to memantine hydrochloride or to any excipients used in the formulation. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of memantine hydrochloride extended-release capsules in pregnant women. Adverse developmental effects (decreased body weight and skeletal ossification) were observed in the offspring of rats administered memantine during pregnancy at doses associated with minimal maternal toxicity. These doses are higher than those used in humans at the maximum recommended daily dose of memantine hydrochloride extended-release capsules [see Data]. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively
