Thank you for your answer. In prescribing info it says the combined use of memantine with other NMDA antagonists(dxtromethorphan) has not been systematically evaluated and such use should be approached with caution.
What adverse effects should we watch for?

Brief Answer:
THis is because there are not many studies already!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As of now, no bad interactions have been reported or documented about them. There is nothing specific to look out for but if there are any strange observations or symptoms should be reported promptly for evaluation and advise.

I wish you well.
