About This Drug

Galantamine is a dementia symptom treatment adjunct used to treat the symptoms of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. It is not a cure for the disease, nor can it change the course of the disease.

This drug blocks the action of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that helps break down a substance called acetylcholine. A loss of acetylcholine has been associated with a decline in cognitive functioning.
  • Generics available: None
  • Brand names: Razadyne, Razadyne ER, Reminyl
