Frequently asked questions

What is Memantine Zentiva used for?+
Memantine Zentiva contains memantine hydrochloride, which is prescribed for the symptomatic treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. It helps improve cognitive function and daily living activities in patients with this neurodegenerative condition.
How does memantine work in the brain?+
Memantine acts as a non‑competitive antagonist of the NMDA receptor, blocking excessive calcium entry caused by over‑activation of glutamate pathways. This reduces excitotoxic neuronal damage, which is thought to contribute to the cognitive decline seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
What is the usual dose of Memantine Zentiva?+
The specific dose and titration schedule for Memantine Zentiva are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s clinical condition, renal function, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions precisely.
Is Memantine safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for memantine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The drug should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by the treating physician.
How do I order Memantine Zentiva from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity.

How does Memantine compare with other Alzheimer’s treatments?+

Memantine Zentiva should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in humid or excessively hot environments.
How is Memantine Zentiva administered?+

What are the most serious risks associated with Memantine?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, can include seizures, severe psychiatric reactions such as hallucinations or psychosis, cardiac arrhythmias, and significant liver enzyme elevations. Patients should be monitored for these symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they occur.
Who should not use Memantine Zentiva?+
Memantine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to memantine hydrochloride or any of the tablet’s excipients. Caution is also advised for individuals with severe renal impairment, uncontrolled epilepsy, or those taking other NMDA‑receptor antagonists.
