Galantamine: Cognitive Symptom Management in Alzheimer's Disease - An Evidence-Based Review

Product Description: Galantamine is a naturally occurring alkaloid, originally isolated from the bulbs of the Galanthus (snowdrop) plant and other species like Narcissus. It functions as a reversible, competitive acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and an allosteric modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In clinical practice, it is primarily utilized as a prescription medication for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease dementia. It is available in both synthetic and plant-derived forms, with common oral formulations including immediate-release and extended-release tablets, as well as oral solutions.
