Post-hoc analyses of age-adjusted changes in body weight indicates that most instances of weight gain in the trial MEM-MD-67 were associated with children's growth (data not shown).

TEAE categories are ordered by decreasing incidence in the memantine group.

Mem, extended-release memantine; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
