Metformin is a drug used to treat Alzheimer's disease. It can help improve brain function and slow the rate at which memory and thinking skills decline. Memintin is mainly used for patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease and can help improve their quality of life. This medication is usually used under a doctor's supervision and requires regular evaluation and dosage adjustments. Memintin may cause some side effects, such as headache, constipation, fatigue, etc., so patients should pay close attention to their physical condition and inform their doctor in time. In Hong Kong, Memintin is used based on a doctor's prescription. Patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and avoid changing the dosage or stopping the medication on their own. In case of any doubt or discomfort, consult a doctor immediately.
How to use: Memantine is usually taken orally once daily, with or without food. It is recommended to take it at the same time every day to maintain a stable blood concentration. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking the drug, as it may increase the side effects of the drug.
Dosage Guidelines: For adult patients, the starting dose is 5 mg daily, gradually increasing to 20 mg daily. For pediatric patients, the dose needs to be adjusted according to age and weight. The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg per day and the maximum dose is 10 mg per day. Dose adjustment should be made under the guidance of a physician and based on the patient's symptoms and tolerance. Do not adjust the dose or stop using the medication on your own as this may affect the therapeutic effect.
