Description
Ebixa is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe stages of Alzheimer’s disease. It contains the active ingredient memantine, which works by regulating glutamate activity in the brain, a chemical messenger involved in learning, memory, and cognition. In Alzheimer’s, excessive glutamate activity can lead to overstimulation and damage of nerve cells. Ebixa helps restore balance and protects the brain from this overstimulation, which may help maintain cognitive function for longer.
While Alzheimer’s disease is progressive and cannot be cured, Ebixa can help ease certain symptoms related to memory, thinking, and behavior. It may support patients in staying engaged with daily activities, interacting more clearly with others, and retaining some independence for a longer time. Although effects vary from person to person, many experience stabilization or mild improvement in cognitive symptoms over time.
Ebixa is usually taken once per day. Treatment typically begins with a low dose that is gradually increased over several weeks to allow the body to adjust. The medication is most effective when taken consistently as part of a long-term treatment plan.
Side effects are generally mild and may include dizziness, headache, constipation, or confusion in the early stages of treatment. These symptoms often decrease as the body adapts. Ebixa is considered safe for most patients but may not be suitable for those with severe kidney problems or certain other medical conditions.
