Frequently asked questions

What is Mantomed used for?+
Mantomed contains memantine hydrochloride and is prescribed to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. It helps improve cognition, daily functioning, and behavioral symptoms by reducing excitotoxic neuronal damage.
How does memantine hydrochloride work?+
Memantine acts as a non‑competitive antagonist at NMDA receptors, limiting excessive calcium entry into neurons. This reduces excitotoxic injury while allowing normal synaptic activity, which can slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease.
What is the usual dose of Mantomed?+
The dosage of Mantomed is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical condition, renal function, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Mantomed safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of memantine hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and under medical supervision.
How do I order Mantomed from GNH USA?+
To order Mantomed, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and necessary import documentation.
How does Mantomed compare with other Alzheimer’s drugs?+
Mantomed (memantine) belongs to the NMDA‑receptor antagonist class, differing from acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil. While both aim to improve cognition, memantine targets excitotoxic pathways, and is often used in moderate to severe stages, sometimes in combination with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Mantomed?+
Mantomed should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original packaging, and protected from moisture. Keep the product out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to maintain stability.
How is Mantomed administered?+
Mantomed is taken orally, usually as a tablet, with or without food. The exact administration schedule is set by the prescriber, and patients should swallow the tablet whole with water.
What are the most serious risks associated with Mantomed?+
Serious risks include seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, hepatic dysfunction, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and emergence or worsening of suicidal thoughts. Patients should report any of these symptoms to their healthcare provider immediately.
Who should not use Mantomed?+
Mantomed is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to memantine or any component of the formulation. Caution is advised in individuals with severe renal impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, or those taking other NMDA antagonists.
