Memantine: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Memantine is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. It works by blocking excess activity of glutamate, a brain chemical involved in learning and memory, which can help improve symptoms such as memory, awareness, and the ability to perform daily activities. Namenda XR is an extended-release form taken once daily, often in combination with other Alzheimer’s treatments.
