Mentra 10 mg Tablet

Mentra 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains memantine 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the NMDA receptor antagonist class and is used to help manage moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. Mentra 10 mg Tablet does not cure Alzheimer’s disease, but it may help improve or maintain thinking, memory, and daily functioning in some patients.

How it works: Memantine helps regulate the activity of glutamate, a brain chemical involved in learning and memory. In tablet form, Mentra 10 mg Tablet provides a convenient oral dose that is absorbed after swallowing and used to help reduce excessive brain signaling linked with Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Mentra 10 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet than Mentra 5 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen after a doctor has assessed whether a stronger maintenance dose is appropriate. This strength may be used when a lower dose is no longer enough or when a patient has already been titrated up, rather than starting treatment with 10 mg right away.
