摘要: Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia in elderly population worldwide. Despite major unmet clinical need, no new medications for treatment AD have been approved since 2003. Galantamine an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that also a positive allosteric modulator at α4β2 and α7nACh receptors. Memantine is N-methyl- d -aspartate receptor modulator/agonist. Both galantamine memantine are FDA-approved AD. The objective this review to highlight potential galantamine-memantine combination conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) Several studies shown be effective. Neurodegenerative diseases involve multiple pathologies; therefore, appears rational approach. Although underutilized, standard care Positive RCTs with concurrent improvement symptoms biomarkers may lead FDA approval, which greater utilization practice.
