Razadyne has been evaluated for
Alzheimer's disease in several different studies. These studies showed that people taking Razadyne often experience decreased problems of cognitive function ("thinking" functions, such as memory, language, and social interaction), compared to people taking a placebo (a "sugar pill" with no active ingredients). These studies also showed that some people experience improvement, others simply experience a slowing of the decline of problems, and others may not receive any benefit.
When and How to Take Razadyne
General considerations for when and how to take Razadyne include the following:
- Short-acting Razadyne comes in tablet and oral solution (liquid) form. It is usually taken by mouth twice daily. Long-acting Razadyne ER comes in capsule form and is taken once daily (preferably in the morning).
- Both short-acting Razadyne and Razadyne ER should be taken with food.
- Razadyne ER capsules must be swallowed whole; do not open, break, or chew the capsules.
- Be sure to take Razadyne at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level of the medication in your blood.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Razadyne will not work if you stop taking it.
Dosing Information for Razadyne
The dose of Razadyne that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- How you respond to Razadyne
- Other medications you may take
- Other medical conditions you may have.
As is always the case, do not adjust your Razadyne dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
