Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Memantine is an NMDA receptor antagonist used in the management of neurodegenerative conditions.
  • Alzheimer's disease (mild to moderate): improves cognition and daily functioning.
  • Alzheimer's disease (moderate to severe): helps maintain functional abilities.
  • Alzheimer's disease (behavioral symptoms): may reduce agitation and improve overall patient behavior.

How It Works

  • Memantine acts as a non‑competitive antagonist at the NMDA (N‑methyl‑D‑aspartate) receptor. By binding to the receptor-associated ion channel, it reduces excessive calcium influx caused by glutamate over‑activation, thereby limiting excitotoxic neuronal injury that contributes to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Ketamine: combined CNS depression risk.
  • Other NMDA antagonists: heightened risk of adverse neurologic events.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihypertensives: may enhance hypotensive effect.
  • Diuretics: increased risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
  • Anticholinergics: may worsen cognitive impairment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Memantine Centrafarm contains the active ingredient memantine, which is prescribed to treat cognitive decline and functional impairment associated with Alzheimer’s disease in adults.

Memantine blocks the NMDA receptor’s ion channel in a non‑competitive manner, reducing excessive calcium entry caused by glutamate over‑activation and thereby limiting excitotoxic neuronal damage that contributes to dementia.

The dosage of memantine is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical condition, renal function, and tolerability. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

The safety of memantine in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and under medical supervision.

Memantine belongs to the NMDA receptor antagonist class, differing from acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil. It is typically used in moderate to severe stages, often in combination with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for complementary mechanisms.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging. Protect them from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain product stability.

Memantine Centrafarm is taken orally, usually with or without food, as directed by the prescriber. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.

Serious risks include seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, hepatic injury, and emergence of suicidal thoughts. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.

Memantine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug, those taking other NMDA antagonists, and individuals with uncontrolled severe renal or hepatic impairment unless closely monitored.
