Hi,

Galantamine is a medication used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and is not contraindicated in individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's. However, as with any medication, it is important to discuss it with a healthcare provider before taking it. They can assess the potential benefits and risks and determine if it's appropriate for your husband's specific case.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
