Frequently asked questions

What is Memantine Glenmark used for?+
Memantine Glenmark contains memantine hydrochloride, which is prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. It helps improve cognition, daily functioning, and overall clinical status in patients with this neurodegenerative condition.
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 moderates excitotoxic neuronal damage and supports synaptic function, which can translate into clinical benefits for Alzheimer’s patients.
What is the usual dose of Memantine Glenmark?+
The appropriate dose of Memantine Glenmark is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, disease severity, renal function and other individual factors. Dosage adjustments are made according to professional guidelines and patient response.
Is Memantine safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for memantine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

How does Memantine compare with other Alzheimer’s drugs?+
Memantine belongs to the NMDA‑receptor antagonist class, whereas other approved agents such as donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Serious adverse events, although rare, include severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty), seizures, hallucinations or psychosis, and rapid heart rate. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use Memantine Glenmark?+
Memantine Glenmark is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to memantine or any of its excipients. Caution is advised in individuals with severe renal impairment, uncontrolled epilepsy, or those taking other NMDA‑antagonists without medical supervision.
