Memantine for PDD or DLB

Underwriting Quick Notes:

  • PDD = Parkinson’s Disease Dementia
  • DLB = Dementia with Lewy Bodies
  • Memantine = Namenda

Memantine seems to improve global clinical status and behavioural symptoms of patients with mild to moderate DLB, and might be an option for treatment of these patients.
