Razadyne improves the function of the nerve cell in the brain. This works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical called as acetylcholine. There are some people with lower levels of this chemical which is highly necessary for the processes of memory, thinking, and reasoning. Razadyne is used for treating mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease. This is also used for certain other purposes. Before taking Razadyne it is necessary to tell the doctor if you are allergic to drugs even if there are other problems such as urination problem, a heart rhythm disorder, heart disease, stomach ulcers or bleeding, a seizure disorder, kidney disease, liver disease, or asthma.
