Admenta 10 mg Tablet

Admenta 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of memantine in each tablet. It belongs to a class of drugs called NMDA receptor antagonists and is used to help manage symptoms of moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. Admenta 10 mg Tablet is not a cure, but it may help with memory, thinking, and daily functioning in some people with Alzheimer’s. This pack contains a strip/box of 10 tablets manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

How it works: Memantine helps regulate the activity of glutamate, a brain chemical involved in learning and memory. Admenta 10 mg Tablet is an oral tablet that is swallowed whole, so the medicine is absorbed through the digestive system and then works in the brain over time.

Admenta 10 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in the Admenta line compared with Admenta 5 mg Tablet. Doctors may choose Admenta 10 mg Tablet when a patient has already tolerated a lower memantine dose or when they need the full 10 mg tablet strength as part of a carefully planned treatment schedule. Because memantine dosing is usually titrated, this strength is not meant to be started by everyone right away.

Each Admenta 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of memantine.
