Larentine 5 Tablet 10 contains memantine (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• NMDA Receptor Antagonist: Memantine blocks special receptors in the brain called NMDA receptors, which are involved in transmitting signals between nerve cells. This helps prevent excessive stimulation that can damage brain cells.

• Glutamate Regulation: It controls the activity of glutamate, an important brain chemical (neurotransmitter) involved in learning and memory. In Alzheimer's disease, too much glutamate can harm brain cells.

• Neuroprotection: By blocking the harmful effects of excessive glutamate, memantine helps protect brain cells from damage and death, which are common in Alzheimer's disease.

• Brain Function Support: Through these actions, memantine helps maintain better communication between nerve cells in the brain, potentially improving memory and thinking abilities in people with Alzheimer's disease.

• Store at room temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect from light and moisture.

• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Maintain a brain-healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish like salmon) and antioxidants (found in colourful fruits and vegetables), as these nutrients support cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease.

• Engage in regular mental stimulation activities such as puzzles, reading, or memory games to help maintain cognitive abilities alongside your memantine treatment.
