Memantine rarely affects blood pressure, but it can cause blood pressure to rise. This happens occasionally and most often does not require discontinuation of the drug, but it is worth monitoring blood pressure, especially at the beginning of therapy.
If you experience dizziness, headaches, or other symptoms associated with hypertension, it is worth consulting a doctor. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:

I also encourage you to report the symptoms you experience to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse effect of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
