Neramexane is a drug related to memantine, [1] which acts as an NMDA antagonist [2] and has neuroprotective effects. [3] It is being developed for various possible applications, including treatment of tinnitus, [4] [5] Alzheimer's disease, [6] drug addiction [7] and as an analgesic. [8] Animal studies have also suggested antidepressant [9] and nootropic [10] actions so that this drug may be used for a wide range of potential applications. It also acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. [11]

A clinical trial found that doses of 50 mg and above safely improved tinnitus scores over 16 weeks. [12]
