Namenda is an oral medication used to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer’s. Namenda reduces the actions of brain chemicals that contribute to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is caused by damage to the nerve cells in the brain, which leads to a decline in memory and learning.
The brain relies on chemical messengers called neurotransmitters to pass signals between nerve cells. One neurotransmitter, glutamate, is involved with memory and learning. Dementia conditions occur when nerve cells are damaged, which causes the cells to release excess glutamate. This glutamate causes too much calcium to enter cells, which causes more damage to the memory and learning process. Namenda works by blocking glutamate from accessing important brain receptors and preventing excess calcium from entering cells to cause damage.
Always consult your doctor and the patient's instructions before taking this medication.
