Angel's Trumpet Overview
Angel's trumpet is a plant species in the Solanaceae family, which includes a number of other plants such as tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants. It is native to South America and is known for its large, aromatic flowers that hang down from the plant and look like the trumpet musical instrument.
Angel's trumpet is most often used as an ornamental plant, and while it has been used in traditional medicine, it is poisonous and can be harmful if ingested. The plant contains a number of toxic compounds, including scopolamine and atropine, which can cause a range of adverse effects if ingested, including dizziness, dry mouth, hallucinations, and coma.
Due to its safety concerns, its medicinal use is not recommended.
Memantine Overview
-
Memantine is used to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD; a brain disease that slowly destroys the memory and the ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities). Memantine is in a class of medications called NMDA receptor antagonists. It works by decreasing abnormal activity in the brain. Memantine may improve the ability to think and remember or may slow the loss of these abilities in people who have AD. However, memantine will not cure AD or prevent the loss of these abilities at some time in the future.
