Memantin Starterpackung Abz (Memantine Hydrochloride)

Memantine works as a non‑competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors. By blocking excessive calcium entry through the receptor channel, it limits neuronal damage caused by over‑activation of glutamate while allowing normal synaptic activity to continue.

The appropriate dose of memantine is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, renal function, and tolerability. Dosage regimens may vary, and the prescriber will set the exact schedule.

The safety of memantine in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

Memantine belongs to the NMDA receptor antagonist class, whereas other approved agents such as donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Memantine is typically used in moderate to severe disease and may be combined with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for additive benefit.

Store the product at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by the prescribing physician. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.

Serious adverse events, although rare, include seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, severe hepatic injury, and life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should be monitored for any new or worsening symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they occur.

Memantine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its excipients. Caution is advised in individuals with severe renal or hepatic impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, or those taking other NMDA antagonists.
