How it works
Admenta 10 Tablet is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Memory loss in Alzheimer's disease is due to excessive production of glutamate (chemical messenger) in the brain which is mediated by NMDA receptors. Admenta 10 Tablet works by preventing the action of NMDA receptors and regulates the production of glutamate, involved in the transmission of nerve signals. This is how it prevents memory loss in Alzheimer's disease.
