Side Effects Dosage of Razadyne fro Alzheimer's

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Advantages of Razadyne ( galantamine) include that it may not as much disturb sleep and the sleep process in Alzheimer’s patients as the other mainstay medication of treatment of Alzheimer’s Aricept.

Common side effects of Razadyne include possible nausea , vomiting ,diarrhea ,fainting , loss of appetite and weight loss.? Most of these are mild and tend to subside as the body learns to adjust to the medication over time.

In M.C.I. trials Razadyne , thirteen ( 13) Razadyne recipients died, compared to only a single ( one) death among placebo patients – a finding that it seems of not many doctors are aware of.? Because more deaths occurred in the Razadyne group , than in the placebo group, doctors cannot rule out that the deaths were somehow related or due to Razadyne therapy.

Razadyne therapy can be initiated for patients with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

Dosage:? Razadyne? is supplied in both regular and extended release forms. Razadyne ER ( or SR designation slow- release formulation), can be taken once a day whereas Razadyne immediate release formulations are taken on a twice a da regime.? The two different formulations of Razadyne – immediate release and slow extended or sustained release formulations should not be taken together at the same time.? Its either one or the other since the active medication ingredient is the same.

The effective dose of Razadyne Extended Release (ER)? as well as immediate release ( regular) Razadyne? is stated to be in the ranges of 16 to 24 milligrams a day.? Doctors usually recommend starting with a lower initial dose of 8 milligrams a day and then increasing it to the lower maintenance dosage of 16 mg over a time span period of four ( 4) weeks. Then up according to the specific patients requirements and needs over a time span the dosage can be increased to upper stated limits of the drug.? Often patients can tolerate medications at higher levels if first started on a much lower initial dose and the dosage increased slowly over time.? The maxim is start lower and increase dosage slowly over time.

To reduce side effects , in terms of sleep disturbances and insomnia it is especially recommended to take the medication in the morning time with the extended release ER / SR form , and the taking of the second dose of the immediate release form somewhat earlier during the 24 clock of the daytime rather than later.

Rasadyne (Ggalantamine) for treatment of Alezheimer's Disease

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

The medication? Razadyne was originally made from daffodil flowers using the very same extract that soldiers in ancient Greece used to stay alert on the battlefields.?? The drugs commercially available of Razadyne currently use a synthetic version or variant of this initial compound.

Radazyne not only blocks cholinesterase in the same way that the Alzheimer’s drug Aricept does but also and in addition stimulates the brain’s? nicotine and nicotinic receptors.? The nicotinic receptors in the brain serves the brain functioning and are involved in attention and learning facilities and functions and functioning.

Originally researchers had hoped that this double pharmacological actions would serve to double the drug’s benefits in treatment as well.

However clinical trials of Rasadyne ( chemically or generically galantamine) have not borne this out as well.

As a general guideline and measure Razadyne is generally held to be as effective in the ranges as that of Aricept.

Long Term Followup on Aricept Trials

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

What are the result of data on followup studies of patient’s taking and prescribed the aricept medication for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease ?

Several studies ( some lasting as long as five (5) years)?? have ascertained and concluded that these patients declined and had their Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive symptoms declined at a slower rate than would of been expected? otherwise without therapy??? However these studies could be criticized as not being that well standardized or with a small patient count and being of short duration.

Diembon Dimebolin Summary Referenced Information Discovery Magazine Online

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

The second drug, Dimebon, is an allergy drug used in Russia 20 years ago. A Lancet [subscription required] article in July reported that over 26 weeks of treatment, Dimebon significantly improved memory, thinking, and overall functioning in 68 Alzheimer?s patients, compared with a 66-member control group. Although researchers don?t know exactly how Dimebon does this, it may work by protecting mitochondria?the powerhouses of cells?from injury, says Rachelle Doody, the study?s lead author and a neurology professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. A phase 3 trial for the drug began recruiting participants in June.

Higher Dosages of Aricept

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Another small study found that patients could safely take dosages and doses of Aricept? as high as 20 milligrams ( mg)? a day.? However it may well be considered that this information is too limited in range? to judge whether Aricept at this higher dosage range provides greater benefits? at this particular higher dose.

The general rule with medications , to follow , is that it is always a “risk vs benefit”? analysis.? The dose is tolerated however are there benefits, and are the costs , to a patient’s health , are yet unknown and as well unstudied.? More research and analysis in this area needs to be done.? It is a well known truism in the west that “If a little bit will do you good , then more must be better”.?? However in many cases “More is not better” especially when it comes to medical treatment in the case of elderly or compromised patients and their medical and pharmaceutical care.
