The benefit from Memantine (Ebixa) is assessed by repeating the cognitive assessment at around 3 months. Such assessment cannot demonstrate how the disease may have progressed in the absence of treatment, but it can give a good guide to response. Up to half the patients given this class of drugs show a slower rate of cognitive decline.
Dosage for Memantine (Ebixa)
The usual dose of Memantine (Ebixa) is initially 5mg in the morning, increased in steps of 5mg at weekly intervals up to a max dose of 10mg twice daily; doses over 5mg should be given in 2 divided doses.
