The Namenda should not interfere with her diabetes or diabetes medication. It was prescribed to help her with dementia (memory loss) or alzheimer's disease. Side effects include tiredness, sore muscles, constipation and dizziness. To the person who asked about its interaction with Aricept. I was unable to find any indication that Namenda interferes or interacts with Aricept.
