My university consultant recommended galantamine as an alternative to the Aricept I'm now taking for mild cognitive impairment. My treating pDoc hadn't hear of it and pulled a site up on the web which indicated that it is a nutraceutical. My neurologist today told me that it is indeed a prescription anticholinesterase inhibitor that is due to be released in the next month or two. It is supposed to have a somewhat different mechanism of action than Aricept or Excelon. Doe
se anyone know anything about this med - or whatever it is?Thanks in Advance.
