Reposted from @molecule_of_the_day (@get_regrann) - Galantamine, sold under the brand names Nivalin or Razadyne, is a medicine 💊 used to treat mild to moderate confusion (dementia) related to Alzheimer's disease 🧠. While it does not cure Alzheimer's disease, it can improve memory, awareness 👁, and the ability for the individual to perform daily functions. Galantamine works by increasing the availability of acetylcholine, a neurotrasmitter, for improved transmission of nerve signals. In addition to uses in Alzheimer's disease, galantamine has been used to treat myasthenia, muscular dystrophy and other musculoskeletal 💪 diseases. Thanks 🙏 anonymous for the suggestion!
