Product Description
DONAMEM 5mg is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Memantine Hydrochloride (5.00mg/Tablet) and Donepezil (5.00mg/Tablet). Memantine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, and Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. This combination is used for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. Memantine works by regulating the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in cognitive functioning, while Donepezil inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine, another neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning. Together, they help improve cognitive function, memory, and daily functioning in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
