Summary
Galantamine (also known as Nivalin, Razadyne, Razadyne ER, Reminyl, and Lycoremine) is a water soluble, reversible, competitive acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that functions as a nootropic, oneirogen, and mild dissociative substance. It is well known and used widely as a dream potentiator. Along with its oneirogenic effects, it has stimulant and nootropic effects in low doses, and has mild dissociative effects in higher doses. It is an alkaloid that is obtained either synthetically, or from the bulbs and flowers of Galanthus caucasicus, Galanthus woronowii and related genera. It is also available in both a prescription form and as an over-the-counter supplement.
