Pharmacological action
Dementia treatment.
Pharmacodynamics:
Derived adamantane. It is a non-competitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, has a modulating effect on the glutamatergic system. Regulates ion transport, blocks calcium channels, normalizes membrane potential, improves the transmission of nerve impulses. Improves cognitive processes, increases daily activity.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption
Eating does not affect absorption. After oral administration, memantine is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum concentration of memantine in blood plasma is reached after 3-8 hours after administration.
Distribution of
Daily intake of a daily dose of 20 mg leads to an equilibrium plasma concentration of memantine of 70-150 ng / ml. When applying a daily dose of 5-30 mg, the ratio of the average concentration in cerebrospinal fluid to plasma concentration was calculated, equal to 0.52. The volume of distribution is about 10 l / kg. About 45% of memantine binds to plasma proteins. With normal renal function, no cumulation of memantine was noted.
The metabolism of
80% of the circulating memantine in the blood is unchanged. The main metabolites are N-3,5-dimethylgludantane, a mixture of isomers of 4- and 6-hydroxyemantine, 1-nitroso-3,5-dimethyladamantane. Metabolites do not have their own pharmacological activity. In vitro experiments did not reveal a metabolism carried out by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.
Excretion
Memantine is excreted mainly by the kidneys. Excretion occurs single-phase, the half-life is 60-100 hours. In volunteers with normal renal function, the total clearance is 170 ml / min / 1.73 m2, part of the total renal clearance is achieved due to tubular secretion. Renal excretion also includes tubular reabsorption, possibly mediated by cationic transport proteins. The rate of renal elimination of memantine under conditions of an alkaline reaction of urine can decrease by 7-9 times. Alkalization of urine can be caused by a sharp change in diet, for example, a transition from the diet, including animal products, to a vegetarian diet, or due to the intensive use of alkaline gastric buffers.
Linearity
Studies in volunteers showed linear pharmacokinetics over a dose range of 10–40 mg.
Pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic dependence
When applying memantine at a dose of 20 mg / day, the concentration level in the cerebrospinal fluid corresponds to the inhibition constant, which for memantine is 0.5 μmol in the frontal cortex.
Indications
Moderate to severe Alzheimer's type dementia.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to memantine or any of the components,
components - severe liver failure (Child-Pugh class C)
- lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency,
glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome -
pregnancy -
breastfeeding period - safety and up to 18 years of age ( not installed).
Caution:
- Thyrotoxicosis
- epilepsy, a predisposition to epilepsy
- convulsions (including a history)
- simultaneous use of NMDA receptor antagonists (amantadine, ketamine, dextromethorphan s ( diets, for example, switching to a vegetarian diet, abundant intake of alkaline gastric buffers)
- renal tubular acidosis
- severe urinary tract infections, caused by bacteria of the genus Proteus
- myocardial infarction (history)
- heart failure (III-IV functional class according to NYHA classification)
- uncontrolled arterial hypertension
- renal failure
- liver failure (class A and B classification) .
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
Use during pregnancy is contraindicated, since there is no data on the effect of memantine on pregnancy.
Experimental studies in animals indicate that intrauterine growth can be slowed if exposure levels are identical or slightly higher than memantine concentrations in humans.
The potential risk to humans is unknown.
Breastfeeding period
There is no information on the release of memantine with breast milk, therefore, women taking memantine should stop breastfeeding.
Special instructions
In patients with an alkaline urine reaction, more careful monitoring of such patients is required due to the slowing down of memantine excretion. Factors causing an increase in urine pH include: dramatic changes in diet, for example, replacing a meat-rich diet with a vegetarian one or intensive use of alkaline gastric buffers. In addition, urine pH may increase due to renal tubular acidosis or severe urinary tract infection caused by bacteria of the genus Proteus.
Data on the use of memantine in patients with a history of myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure (NYHA class III-IV functional class) or uncontrolled arterial hypertension are limited, therefore careful medical monitoring of such patients is necessary.
Use with caution in patients with thyrotoxicosis, epilepsy, seizures (including a history of) and a predisposition to epilepsy.
The simultaneous use of memantine and antagonists of NMDA receptors such as amantadine, ketamine and dextromethorphan should be avoided. These compounds act on the same receptor system as memantine, and therefore adverse reactions (mainly from the central nervous system) can occur more often and be more pronounced.
Memantine contains lactose monohydrate. Patients with hereditary galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take the drug Memantine.
Impact on the ability to drive transp. Wed and fur .:
In patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's type dementia, the ability to drive vehicles and control complex mechanisms is usually impaired. In addition, memantine can cause a change in the reaction rate, so patients need to refrain from driving or working with complex mechanisms.

Drug interaction
With the simultaneous use of memantine with levodopa drugs, dopamine receptor agonists, anticholinergics, their effect may be enhanced.
With the simultaneous use of memantine with barbiturates, antipsychotics, their effect may be reduced.
With the simultaneous use of memantine with dantrolene or baclofen, as well as with antispasmodics, their effect may change (increase or decrease), so the doses of drugs should be selected individually.
The simultaneous use of memantine with amantadine should be avoided because of the risk of developing psychosis. Both compounds are antagonists of NMDA receptors.
The risk of developing psychosis is also increased with the simultaneous use of memantine with phenytoin, ketamine, and dextromethorphan.

Clinical studies also did not reveal the effect of memantine on the pharmacokinetics of galantamine in young healthy volunteers.
In in vitro studies, memantine did not inhibit CYP 1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2D6, 2E1, 3A isoenzymes, monooxygenase containing flavin, epoxyhydrolase, and sulfation. With the simultaneous use of memantine with levodopa drugs, dopamine agonists, dopamine agonists anticholinergics their effect may be enhanced.

symptoms
An overdose of relatively high doses of memantine (200 mg once daily, or 105 mg daily for 3 days) is expressed by symptoms of fatigue, weakness and / or diarrhea, or no symptoms. An overdose of up to 140 mg of memantine alone or an unknown amount of memantine is expressed by symptoms associated with the central nervous system (confusion, drowsiness, dizziness, vertigo, anxiety, agitation, hallucinations, gait disturbance) and / or gastrointestinal (gastrointestinal) disorders ).
In the most serious cases of overdose, the patient survived after taking more than 2000 mg of memantine with undesirable effects from the nervous system (coma for 10 days, later diplopia, agitation). The patient received symptomatic therapy and plasmapheresis and recovered without consequences.
