Frequently asked questions

What is Memantina Aurobindo used for?+
Memantina Aurobindo contains memantine hydrochloride and is prescribed for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease and dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It helps improve cognition, memory, and daily functioning in adult patients with these conditions.
How does memantine work in the brain?+
Memantine acts as a non‑competitive antagonist at NMDA receptors, reducing excessive calcium influx caused by glutamate over‑activation. This limits excitotoxic neuronal injury, which is a key contributor to the cognitive decline seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
What is the usual dose of Memantina Aurobindo?+
The dosage of Memantina Aurobindo is determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s clinical condition, renal function, and response to therapy. The prescriber will set the appropriate dose and titration schedule.
Is Memantina Aurobindo safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for memantine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I order Memantina Aurobindo from GNH USA?+
To place an order, 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 any necessary import documentation.
How does Memantina Aurobindo compare with other Alzheimer’s drugs?+
Memantine belongs to the NMDA‑receptor antagonist class, whereas cholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil act by increasing acetylcholine levels. Memantine is typically used in moderate to severe stages, often in combination with a cholinesterase inhibitor, offering a complementary mechanism of neuroprotection.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Memantina Aurobindo?+
Store Memantina Aurobindo at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability.
How is Memantina Aurobindo administered?+
Memantina Aurobindo is taken orally, usually with or without food, as directed by the prescribing physician. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not chewed or crushed unless specifically instructed.
What are the most serious risks associated with Memantina Aurobindo?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include seizures, severe hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, hepatic dysfunction, and severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should be monitored closely for any of these symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they occur.
Who should not use Memantina Aurobindo?+
Memantina Aurobindo is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to memantine or any of its excipients. Caution is advised in individuals with severe renal impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, or a history of seizures, and it should be avoided in combination with other NMDA antagonists.
