Large trials of galantamine have shown clinically meaningful improvements in treated versus placebo groups:

  • four point improvement in ADAS-cog score vs placebo at 6 months
  • significant benefit from treatment at 12 months

Improvements are also seen in behaviour and activities of daily living.
