ADMENTA 10

Uses
Admenta (Memantine HCL) is used to treat Alzheimer's disease and the confusion, memory problems and difficulty carrying out daily tasks it can cause. This medicine helps to decrease abnormal brain activity, and it can also block the action of a certain natural substance in the brain known as glutamate, believed by many leading medical experts to be linked to Alzheimer's symptoms. Although this medication may make it easier for Alzheimer's patients to function, it will not cure the disease, nor will it stop the disease from progression.
