Combination Therapy with Namenda
May Help Improve Quality of Life

With Alzheimer's disease, each patient is unique – and the treatment needs of each person with the disease will change over time. Although the person you are caring for is already on treatment, you may be wondering if more can be done to treat his or her symptoms. In some cases, combination therapy with Namenda^® (memantine HCl) may offer additional benefits and may be an appropriate option. Namenda is also proven safe and effective on its own for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.

Namenda + Aricept

The results of a clinical trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed Alzheimer's patients taking Namenda in combination with Aricept^® (donepezil)* experienced a slower rate of decline in thinking, function and behavior compared to those taking Aricept alone. ¹

The study found that combination therapy with Namenda+Aricept may ¹:

• Improve and maintain thinking ^1,2
• Help maintain the ability to perform activities of daily living such as grooming, finding belongings and conversing ^1,3
• Significantly improve behavior
• Delay the onset of negative behavioral symptoms such as agitation, aggression and irritability in asymptomatic people ^1,4

By treating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, Namenda, in combination with Aricept, may do more to treat the symptoms of the disease and allow people with Alzheimer's to recognize and interact with family and friends longer and may help make life more manageable for everyone involved.
