Frequently asked questions

What does Razadyne ER treat?

Razadyne ER (Galantamine Hydrobromide) may be used to treat alzheimer disease, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Razadyne ER work?

Razadyne ER is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Cholinesterase inhibitors block the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, a chemical messenger nerves use to communicate. By letting acetylcholine build up and act longer, they can help preserve memory and thinking in Alzheimer's disease, where this messenger runs low.

How is Razadyne ER rated?

pharmaranks gives Razadyne ER a composite score of 3.5 out of 5, currently based on 1 weighted source (FDA regulatory recall-safety data weighted highest). See our methodology at /how-we-rate.

How much does Razadyne ER cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $27.35 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Donepezil Hydrochloride — about $1.43 on the same basis.

Is there a coupon or discount for Razadyne ER?
