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