MENTATIME 5

MENTATIME 5 is a prescription tablet for cognitive symptoms in dementia. Each tablet contains memantine 5 mg. Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., a WHO-GMP and ISO 9001-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, makes and markets it.

In Alzheimer's disease, brain cells are exposed to too much of the chemical messenger glutamate. Persistent overstimulation of the NMDA receptors by glutamate is believed to damage nerve cells and disturb memory and learning. Memantine partially blocks these receptors, so it reduces the "noise" caused by excess glutamate. At the same time, it lets the normal, needed signals for memory and learning get through.

Memantine does not cure Alzheimer's disease and does not stop it progressing. It helps manage symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, reduced thinking ability and difficulty with daily tasks. Doctors sometimes combine it with a cholinesterase inhibitor such as donepezil in moderate to severe disease.

Product Information 

Why Is Memantine Important?

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are becoming more common as India's population ages. Families often see the first signs as forgetting recent conversations, misplacing things, getting lost in familiar places or struggling with simple tasks. Memantine matters for these reasons.

1. Acts on a different pathway. Most anti-dementia medicines boost acetylcholine. Memantine protects against glutamate overactivity, so it adds a distinct mechanism for moderate to severe stages.
2. Helps preserve daily function. Better attention and thinking can help patients hold on to independence, such as dressing, eating and recognising family, for longer.
3. Supports caregivers. Reduced agitation and confusion can ease the daily burden on family members.
4. Flexible titration. The 5 mg strength lets the doctor start low and raise the dose slowly. This improves tolerability, particularly in older adults.
5. Long clinical experience. Memantine has been used for many years, so its safety profile and monitoring needs are well understood.

Precautions and Warnings

Do not use MENTATIME 5 if:

Tell your doctor before starting if you have:

• Epilepsy, seizures or a history of convulsions. Memantine may increase seizure risk.

• Conditions that make urine less acidic (more alkaline). These include severe urinary tract infection, renal tubular acidosis and heavy use of antacids or urine-alkalinising medicines.
