Admenta 10 mg is available in the form of a tablet to treat moderate to severe dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease. It may be used as a part of combination therapy. It helps reduce dementia symptoms, but it does not cure or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Memantine is categorized under the drug class NMDA receptor antagonists, which is known to block the receptors in the brain that glutamate would normally bind to. This causes a significant reduction in the harmful effect of glutamate in the brain and may help improve the symptoms of dementia. If you are allergic to Memantine, you should not take any memantine formulation, including Admenta 10 mg. Speak to your doctor if you have a history of epileptic seizures or recently experienced a heart attack.

Always take Admenta 10 mg exactly as your doctor has told you. Discuss with your doctor if you are not sure about the correct dosage of the drug. In general, take Admenta once daily.
