Afdol Oral 120 ml, made by Agp Pharmacuticals, is a medicine for dementia. Its active ingredient is Memantine, and it is used for moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. Pack size: 1s.

Uses of Afdol Oral 120 ml

Afdol Oral 120 ml is used to treat the symptoms of moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease, such as memory loss, confusion and difficulty with everyday tasks. It may be used on its own or added to a cholinesterase inhibitor such as donepezil. It does not stop the disease, but in some people it can slow the worsening of symptoms for a time and help with daily functioning.

How Afdol Oral 120 ml works

Memantine blocks NMDA receptors in the brain. In Alzheimer’s disease, too much glutamate activity at these receptors is thought to damage nerve cells. By damping down this excess signalling while allowing normal signals through, memantine helps preserve communication between brain cells.

Possible side effects

Afdol Oral 120 ml is usually well tolerated. Side effects that some people notice include:

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Constipation
• Drowsiness

See a doctor promptly for fits, sudden worsening confusion or hallucinations, or signs of a blood clot such as leg swelling or chest pain.

Precautions and warnings

• The dose is increased gradually at the start to reduce side effects.
• Tell your doctor about kidney disease, epilepsy, heart problems or high blood pressure.
• Major changes in diet, such as switching to a vegetarian diet, or medicines that change urine acidity can alter memantine levels.
• Avoid using it with amantadine, ketamine or dextromethorphan unless your doctor advises.
• Carers should watch for side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness, and take care with driving and using machinery.
