Reminyl is manufactured by Janssen-Ortho Inc. This medicine is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat loss of memory and thinking ability associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Why is Reminyl prescribed?
Reminyl can delay or even reverse mental decline in some patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to work by boosting levels of the chemical messenger acetylcholine in the brain. (In Alzheimer's disease, the cells that produce acetylcholine slowly deteriorate.)
Reminyl is a temporary remedy. It doesn't work for everyone, and it doesn't halt the underlying disease.
