Objective: To determine the effect of memantine in the treatment of Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
Background: While memantine has been used to successfully treat moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease (AD) and some non AD dementias, no reports are available regarding the effect of the drug on DLB.
Methods: We reviewed the charts of 11 subjects with DLB by McKeith Criteria that were prospectively evaluated and treated with memantine (with or without cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs)) for varying lengths of time.
