Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / December 2005Alzheimer Meds Aricept, Exelon and Reminyl
Hi! Can anyone here tell me if the pills of the Alzheimer Meds Aricept, Exelon and Reminyl at higher doses are divisible (scissile? What does one say in english?). I ask, because they cost almost the same at higher doses as at the minimum dosis. Bye, Paul > Hi! > > Can anyone here tell me if the pills of the Alzheimer Meds Aricept, > Exelon and Reminyl at higher doses are divisible (scissile? What does > one say in english?).

The world owes you nothing. It was here first. ~Mark Twain PAUL DON'T TRY TO GET FREE ADVICE FROM THESE NEWSGROUPS. THEIR FULL OF NUTCASES.

THEIR FULL OF > NUTCASES. > > SO TAKE YOUR CRAP ELSEWHERE These are people trying hard to care for someone who has one of the cruelest illnesses one could ever hope to have. I know what it can be like.I cared for my wife as best i could until she died from a non dementia related illness this September. The people here,carers and sufferers,are to be admired for the great courage and strength they show.They certainly do not deserve to be ridiculed by a cowardly sociopathic little runt like yourself. Tim Who posted here some time ago about his wife Brenda (((((All carers and sufferers here))))) Signaturehttp://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/ http://folding.stanford.edu/ I cut Reminyl 12 mg's in half ... studies I read showed minimal extra benefit going from 8mg 2x per day to 12 mg 2x per day. Of course half of 12 is 6. I give a whole one in morning and half at night. Medicare plan D will help a lot. I think price will go down about 80%. Reminyl is now called Razadyne ... same stuff.

Yes, it was called Galantamine. SignatureBest Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox') We tried Galantamind (I still have some), but somehow decided it didn't seem as effective. It is a big capsule compared to a small pill for same dosage, apparently not as refined somehow. It is supposed to have 8mg galantamine. You can't buy "Reminyl" any more, Razadyne is just a new name, same patent. With Medicare D, Razadyne will actually be cheaper than the "Galantamind", though you don't need a prescription for Galantamind. Bill >Just trying to recall----Was galantamin the OTC, (available at health >food stores,) ? >A while back it was discussed here, I think by Frederick.....That would >explain its availabity under other names---no patent.. Exelon is only available as a capsule, so splittingthe dosage is not an option. |
