What Is Ebixa 10mg?
Ebixa 10mg tablet is an anti-dementia medicine. It works on NMDA receptors in the brain. In Alzheimer’s disease, too much glutamate can harm brain cells. Memantine helps control this effect.
Ebixa does not cure Alzheimer’s. But it can help with memory, thinking and daily tasks. The tablet is pale yellow and oval. It has a line in the middle, so it can be split into equal halves.
