What Experts Say

Memantine works by regulating glutamate, a brain chemical involved in learning and memory that is overactive in Alzheimer's disease. By calming this overactivity, it can help with memory, attention and the ability to carry out daily tasks.

It does not cure Alzheimer's but can slow the worsening of symptoms and support function for a period. Doctors usually start at a low dose and increase it gradually to reduce side effects.

Memantine is often used in moderate to severe dementia and can be combined with other dementia medicines. Caregivers play an important role in giving doses reliably and reporting any marked confusion or dizziness.
