Galantamine Hydrobromide Delays Alzheimer’s Symptoms by 18 Months


PHILADELPHIA, PA — May 23, 2002 —

The anti-dementia drug galantamine hydrobromide has been shown to delay the cognitive decline of Alzheimer’s disease over three years, according to new research. The study was presented here this week at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

 For this three-year analysis, Alzheimer’s disease patients, who were involved in one of two earlier double-blind trials comparing galantamine hydrobromide to placebo, were asked if they would like to participate in further research.

They were given the opportunity to continue the drug (24 mg daily) as part of an open-label design. A total of 327 patients entered the open-label trial, and 182 completed it; and 90 took galantamine hydrobromide continuously for 36 months.
