Hello,
I'd like to hear from members who have any experience of the drug memantine please. It's been recommended for my Dad who is 77 years old. He can't take Aricept or any others from that family of drugs as he has a mild heart condition. Is Memantine really effective and does it help to improve everyday function. What were your experiences of the side effects. We've also been told that he cannot get this on the NHS so we have to pay for it privately. Any idea of costs? Thanks.
