Information on the dose titration of memantine contained in Table 1 of the August 2008 NPS RADAR review of memantine was incorrect. The dose for the tablet formulation was correct but the dose for the oral solution was mistakenly halved.

The error has been rectified on the NPS website and all electronic copies of the review now show the correct dose (Table 1). We apologise for any confusion.
