Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Treatment of Alzheimer's disease (memory loss).

Medicinal Benefits:

Cogmentin 5 mg Tablet is a combination medication containing Donepezil and Memantine, which treat Alzheimer’s disease. It helps to slow down the progression of moderate to severe Alzheimer's by improving memory and thinking. It also increases the levels of a chemical messenger involved in the transmission of nerve signals. Donepezil is a cholinesterase inhibitor that works by improving the function of nerve cells in the brain by preventing the breakdown of the chemical acetylcholine. Memantine works by lowering the level of chemicals in the brain, which is responsible for causing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Together, they balance the levels of chemical messengers in the brain and help transmit nerve signals.
