a

Week 1 to 12 encapsulates the full galantamine treatment period, including titration. Week 0, where all groups received placebo, is not included.

b

Week 4 to 12 is restricted to the galantamine treatment period following titration, therefore the group randomized to 16mg galantamine were receiving 16mg galantamine/day during this time.

c

The pills (galantamine or placebo) were dispensed at each clinic/medication dispensing visit: participants were observed (by a member of the research team) ingesting that day’s pill(s), then were given take-home pills to cover them until the next scheduled clinic visit. CM payments were based on adherence with this visit protocol.
