Suggest Medicine For Short Term Memory Loss
I am trying to find an over the counter medication I was told about but I don t have the correct spelling. It is used for short term memory issues and someone told me that it is helpful. It comes in regular dose or XL and is called something like Predagean XL? Can you help me identify this medication?

Hi,
Thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic.
What you are asking about is 'PREVAGEN' whose ingredient is Apoaequorin.
It is sold as health supplement in USA which does not requires physicians prescription. But this is not FDA approved for curing or treating any medical condition including memory complaints, as claimed by its manufacturer.
There is "no scientific evidence to support any role of Prevagen in improving memory".
Hope i have answered your query.
Regards
DR. ASHUTOSH SINGH
