📋Overview
Memantine is a medication that affects chemicals in the brain involved in memory and learning. It is most commonly associated with the management of symptoms in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. By modulating the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter, memantine aims to help maintain mental function. It is not a cure, but it may help with cognitive symptoms in certain neurological conditions.
