Alzil M 5 Tablet 10

Alzil-M 5 Tablet is used in adults with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease for dual-mechanism cognitive symptom management through cholinesterase inhibition and NMDA receptor blockade.

Uses of Alzil-M 5 Tablet are:

• Alzheimer's Disease: Combines donepezil 5mg's cholinergic enhancement with memantine 5mg's NMDA receptor antagonism to provide complementary symptomatic benefit.
• Cognitive Function: Reduces confusion, memory loss, and disorientation, and supports daily functioning in Alzheimer's patients.

Here are some instructions on how to take Alzil-M 5 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid breaking, crushing or chewing the tablet.

• Do not exceed the recommended dosage without consulting your doctor.

• Remember, it's essential not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Alzil-M 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Alzil-M 5 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Donepezil (5 mg): This compound is a reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and cognition. By inhibiting this enzyme, donepezil boosts the levels and duration of action of acetylcholine in the brain.

• Memantine (5 mg): This compound is an uncompetitive NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist. Memantine binds to NMDA receptors and blocks the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that can lead to neuronal dysfunction when present in excess. By regulating glutamate activity, memantine helps prevent the neuronal damage associated with Alzheimer's disease.

• Store Alzil-M 5 Tablet in a tightly closed container.

• Keep it at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and do not use the tablet if it is expired.

• Maintain a balanced diet with rich nutrients, especially antioxidants like vitamin E and C, which are beneficial for brain health.

• Engage in regular physical activities like walking or yoga as they help improve cognition and delay the progression of symptoms related to Alzheimer's disease. Remember, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
