Embodiment

[0033] Patients (approximately 910) diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups: placebo; gradually increased dose to galantamine 24 mg / day over 8 weeks; gradually increased dose to Galantamine 16mg / day; or galantamine 8mg / day, the dose is no longer gradually increased, and a total of 5 months of treatment. Patients enrolled in the study must have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease assessment grade (Rosen, W.G. et al., Amer.J.Psychiatry, 141:1356-1364, 1984) cognition Score on section (ADAS-cog-11) of at least 18 and a history of cognitive decline that was progressive at the beginning and developed over a period of at least 6 months.

[0034] The dose escalation scheme for each treatment group was as follows:

[0035] Subjects in the placebo group received placebo treatment for 21 weeks (5 months). The subjects in the Gal24 group received 4 weeks of 8mg / day galantamine (4mg, twice a day (bid)), 4 weeks of 16mg / da...

Abstract

Galantamine has been used in the treatment of a number of chronic diseases. Galantamine has been found to be safe and effective in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Neuropsychiatric disorders are often associated with Alzheimer's disease. It is demonstrated that galantamine is also effective in reducing or stabilizing the incidence of neuropsychiatric behaviour seen in Alzheimer's patients.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the use of an effective amount of galantamine for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of neuropsychiatric behavior associated with Alzheimer's disease. Background of the invention [0002] Galantamine is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor that can be isolated from a range of different plant sources, including the bulbs of daffodils. Galantamine can competitively interact with the enzyme, acetylcholinesterase, and shows 10 to 50 times greater selectivity for acetylcholinesterase than butyrylcholinesterase. [0003] Galantamine has been used to treat a variety of chronic conditions that require life-long treatment. Galantamine has been shown to be effective in the treatment of: Arthritis (Canadian Patent Application 2,251,114); Fatigue Syndrome (Canadian Patent Application 2,108,880); Mania (Canadian Patent Application 2,062,094); Schizophrenia (Canadian Patent Application 2,108,880) memory dysfunction, including Alzheime...
