Memantína Grindeks contains memantine hydrochloride and is prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. It helps preserve cognitive function and daily living abilities in patients with this neurodegenerative condition.
How does memantine work in the brain?+
Memantine acts as a non‑competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors, limiting excessive calcium entry caused by prolonged glutamate stimulation. This reduces excitotoxic neuronal damage while allowing normal synaptic activity, supporting memory and cognition.
What is the usual dose of Memantína Grindeks?+
The dosage of Memantína Grindeks is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical status, renal function, and tolerability. The prescriber determines the appropriate starting dose and any subsequent titration.
