How Dementa XR 14 works
Dementa XR 14 is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease is due to excessive production of glutamate (chemical messenger) in the brain which is mediated by NMDA receptors. Dementa XR 14 works by preventing the action of NMDA receptors and regulates the production of glutamate. involved in the transmission of nerve signals. This is how it prevents memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease.

Renal impairment:
CrCl (ml/min) Dosage Recommendation
5-29 Max: 10 mg daily.
30-49 10 mg daily (after initial dose of 5 mg daily), if well tolerated for at least 7 days, may increase to 20 mg daily.
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to memantine or components of the formulation. Severe renal impairment.
Mode of Action
Memantine, a derivative of amantadine, is a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antagonist. It affects transmission of glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS. Glutamate may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease by overstimulating various glutamate receptors resulting in excitotoxicity and neuronal cell death.
Precaution
Renal impairment; epilepsy. Pregnancy and lactation. Closely monitor patients with recent MI, uncompensated CHF, uncontrolled hypertension. Predisposition to convulsions; conditions that increase urinary pH.
Lactation: Unknown whether drug is excreted into breast milk; use with caution
Side Effect

Dizziness (7%),Confusion (6%),Headache (6%),Constipation (5%),Cough (4%),Hypertension (4%),Backache (3%),Pain (3%),Somnolence (3%),Syncope (3%),Vomiting (3%),Dyspnea (2%),Fatigue (2%)
<1%
Acute renal failure,Cerebral infarction,Cerebrovascular accident,Deep venous thrombosis,Hepatitis, liver failure,Intracranial hemorrhage,Neuroleptic malignant syndrome,Seizure (including grand mal),Stevens-Johnson syndrome,Transient ischemic attack
Interaction
May increase effects of antimuscarinics and dopaminergics. May reduce effects of antipsychotics and barbiturates. May alter effects of dantrolene, baclofen. Reduced clearance with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and sodium bicarbonate.
Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of adverse effects with amantadine, dextromethorphan or ketamine.
