About This Medication

# myAbbVie Assist Patient Guide: How to Get Namzaric at Low or No Cost Namzaric (memantine HCl and donepezil HCl) is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The **myAbbVie Assist** program from **AbbVie** helps eligible patients in the United States get **Namzaric** for **free** if they have limited or no health insurance and meet financial need criteria.[1][2] ## About Namzaric **Namzaric** combines two active ingredients: **memantine HCl**, an NMDA receptor antagonist that helps regulate glutamate activity in the brain, and **donepezil HCl**, a cholinesterase inhibitor that increases acetylcholine levels to improve cognitive function. It's specifically approved for patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's-related dementia who are already tolerating donepezil or memantine alone. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea—always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
