Abixa contains memantine, a prescription medicine used to treat moderate to severe stages of dementia brought on by Alzheimer’s disease. Though Alzheimer’s disease cannot be fully cured by this medication, it may still help with memory, alertness, and daily function. This medicine works by preventing the function of a certain natural compound in the brain called glutamate, which is thought to be connected to Alzheimer’s disease symptoms.
