Overview
Stir-Up Memantine 10mg Tablets (20 pack) contain memantine, a medicine for moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. Memantine works differently from other dementia medicines. It regulates glutamate, a brain chemical that becomes overactive in Alzheimer's and damages nerve cells. Helping stabilise memory, attention, daily functioning and behaviour, and easing the burden of care. It can be used alone or alongside other dementia treatments. Dispensed against prescription, memantine supports families caring for loved ones living with dementia.
Memantine hydrochloride 10mg per film-coated tablet.
