Galantamine Hydrobromide powder at https://www.wisepowder.com/product-details/69353-21-5/ is primarily used to treat myasthenia gravis, poliovirus quiescence, and sequela, polyneuritis, funiculitis, and sensorimotor barrier disorders caused by nervous system disease or trauma. Its primary role in Alzheimer’s disease is to treat dementia and dysmnesia caused by organic brain damage.
Hydrobromide of galantamine – more research is required.
Galantamine hydrobromide is a weak anticholinesterase drug that passes through the blood-brain barrier; the central nervous system plays a part in this.
Children with cerebral palsy, traumatic sensorimotor dysfunction, polyneuritis, and radiculitis, among other conditions, may benefit from galantamine hydrobromide.
CAUTIONARY NOTES
Table of Contents
Skin Reactions with Serious Consequences-Galantamine
Patients receiving RAZADYNE ER and RAZADYNE have experienced serious skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis). Inform patients and caregivers the use of RAZADYNE ER or RAZADYNE should be stopped as soon as a skin rash appears unless the medication does not cause the rash. If signs or symptoms indicate a severe skin reaction, discontinue this medication and seek alternative treatment.
Anesthesia is a state of being unconscious.
As a cholinesterase inhibitor, galantamine is likely to intensify the neuromuscular obstructive effects of succinylcholine-type and related neuromuscular obstructive agents during anesthesia.

Cardiovascular Diseases
Cholinesterase inhibitors have vagotonic effects on the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes due to their pharmacological action, resulting in bradycardia and AV block. Patients with and without known underlying cardiac conduction defects have experienced bradycardia and various forms of heart block [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. As a result, all patients should be considered at risk of adverse cardiac conduction effects.
The risk of syncope was dose-related in patients treated with galantamine up to 24 mg/day using the prescribed dosing schedule (placebo 0.7 percent [2/286]; 4 mg twice daily 0.4 percent [3/692]; 8 mg twice daily 1.3 percent [7/552]; 12 mg twice daily 2.2 percent [6/273]).
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Cholinergic activity is predicted to increase gastric acid secretion as a result of cholinomimetics’ direct action. Patients with an elevated risk of developing ulcers, such as those with a history of ulcer disease or those taking concurrent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, should be closely monitored for active or occult gastrointestinal bleeding (NSAIDs). In clinical trials, galantamine did not affect peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding compared to placebo.
Galantamine has been shown to cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and weight loss due to its pharmacological properties. The patient’s weight should be tracked during treatment.
Genitourinary Disorders
Cholinomimetics could cause bladder outflow obstruction, even though this was not observed in clinical trials with galantamine.
Neurological Disorders
Convulsions
Cholinesterase inhibitors are thought to have the ability to cause generalized convulsions [see ADVERSE REACTIONS for more information]. Seizure disorder may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. When taking galantamine, patients with Alzheimer’s disease should be closely monitored for seizures.
Conditions of the lungs
Galantamine should be used with caution in patients with a history of serious asthma or obstructive pulmonary disease due to its cholinomimetic effect. Respiratory function should be closely monitored for the possibility of respiratory side effects. You can get more information from these contents.
