Galamer 8mg Tablet 10’s

Galamer 8mg Tablet contains Galantamine (8mg), a cholinesterase inhibitor used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. It helps improve memory, thinking, and awareness by increasing levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for brain function.

Key Benefits:

Improves memory, attention, and cognitive function
Slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease
