NEMDAA 5MG TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called anti-dementia agents used to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes dementia (memory loss) and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate, and handle daily activities.

NEMDAA 5MG TABLET contains 'Memantine', which is an NMDA receptor antagonist. It acts on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors involved in transmitting nerve signals that play an essential role in memory. NEMDAA 5MG TABLET decreases the brain's abnormal activity and may improve the ability to think and remember or might slow the loss of these abilities in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Take NEMDAA 5MG TABLET with or without food. You are advised to take NEMDAA 5MG TABLET as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as headache, sleepiness, dizziness, diarrhoea, constipation, balance disorders, and high blood pressure. You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience any of these side effects persistently.

Please do not stop taking NEMDAA 5MG TABLET without consulting your doctor. Consult your doctor before taking NEMDAA 5MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid driving or operating machinery as NEMDAA 5MG TABLET causes dizziness and sleepiness and may affect reactivity. Avoid consuming alcohol along with NEMDAA 5MG TABLET as it could lead to increased dizziness. NEMDAA 5MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Alzheimer's disease: Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes dementia (memory loss) and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate, and, eventually, the ability to handle daily activities. It is the most common cause of dementia (memory loss) in adults. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning, such as remembering, thinking, and reasoning. The causes of this disease are abnormal functioning of brain cells, which cause a disturbance in communication between them. The risk factors are age, family history, and genetics of a person. Alzheimer's disease symptoms include memory loss, trouble with familiar tasks, difficulties with problem-solving, trouble with writing or talking, disorientation, problems with reasoning or judgment, and mood and personality changes. In most people, the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear in their mid-60s.
