                                Memantine + Metformin
                            
                        

                        
                        
Memantine may compete with metformin for renal tubular cationic secretion, potentially increasing metformin plasma concentrations modestly.

                                Memantine + Hydrochlorothiazide
                            
                        

                        
                        
Hydrochlorothiazide may reduce renal clearance of memantine through alkalinisation of urine, as memantine elimination is pH-dependent; the clinical impact is generally minor.
