    SO it Increase [ Levodopa] in CNS which is then converted to dopamine by DDC (Dopamine DeCarboxylase)
  68. Alzheimers Drugs
    Memantine- NMDA receptor antagonist prevents excitotoxicity mediated by Ca+2

    Donepezil/Rivastigmine/Galantamine- Ach cholinesterase inhibitor therfore increase Ach
