Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the deposition of amyloid beta protein. Galantamine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. It helps to maintain the concentration of acetylcholine in the post-synaptic region, preventing the degeneration of neurons. Clinical studies have shown that galantamine improves cognitive and global performances in Alzheimer's patients. However, it has several side effects, including bradycardia and worsening of COPD or asthma.
