Overview

Reminyl Pr 16mg Capsule is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a capsule, with Galantamine 16mg prolonged-release (as galantamine hydrobromide) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Reminyl Pr 16mg Capsule once daily in the morning with food, as taking it on an empty stomach increases the risk of nausea and vomiting. Swallow the capsule whole with a drink of water – do not crush, chew, or open the capsule, as this can disrupt the prolonged-release mechanism.

Dosage

Treatment with Reminyl Pr 16mg Capsule is usually started at a lower dose (such as 8mg once daily) for at least 4 weeks before your doctor increases it, typically to 16mg once daily and, if tolerated, further to 24mg once daily. Your doctor will individualise the titration schedule and monitor your response and tolerability at each step.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Headache
  • Diarrhoea
  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to galantamine or any ingredient in this product
  • Severe liver impairment
  • Severe kidney impairment combined with severe liver impairment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other cholinergic medicines may have additive effects and increase side effects
  • Anticholinergic medicines may reduce the effectiveness of galantamine
  • Strong CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. paroxetine, ketoconazole, erythromycin) can raise galantamine blood levels
  • Medicines that slow the heart rate (e.g. beta-blockers) may increase the risk of a very slow heartbeat when combined
  • NSAIDs may add to gastrointestinal side-effect risk when combined with cholinesterase inhibitors

Quick Tips

  • Always take with food in the morning to reduce nausea
  • Ensure adequate fluid intake, especially if you experience diarrhoea or reduced appetite
  • Do not stop this medicine abruptly or skip several days of doses without telling your doctor – restarting after a gap of several days or more usually needs re-titration from a lower dose
  • Report any fainting, dizziness, or irregular heartbeat to your doctor promptly
  • Keep regular follow-up appointments so your doctor can assess how well the medicine is working
