Galamer (Razadyne, Reminyl, Generic Galantamine)
|
Galantamine is indicated in the treatment of Mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.Galantamine can delay or even reverse mental decline in some patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to work by boosting levels of the chemical messenger acetylcholine in the brain. (In Alzheimer's disease, the cells that produce acetylcholine slowly deteriorate.) Galantamine improves the function of nerve cells in the brain. It works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical called acetylcholine (ah see til KO leen). People with dementia usually have lower levels of this chemical, which is important for the processes of memory, thinking, and reasoning.Galantamine is used to treat mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease. |
