  • During the study patients will be allowed to continue taking stable doses of concomitant medicines including antidepressants, antihypertensives, anti-inflammatory drugs, atypical anti-psychotics, anticoagulants, laxatives, diuretics, hypnotics and benzodiazepines (Tariot et al, 2004). Concomitant administration of anti-parkinsonian medication will be permitted but stable dose and no patients on amantadine this is to avoid difficulties with PD stability as Memantine can have benefit in PD. Cholinesterase inhibitors will not be permitted unless patients have been stable on that medication for at least 3 months.
