Ebixa is the brand name. Memantine or Namenda is the generic name. You may be wise to find a private dementia specialist that is licensed to prescribe. From the research I carried out Dementia is not recognised and invested in like the UK.

A very expensive and controversial drug in the UK!

As Kell71 says, Menatine is available by prescription from a GP

Here is an interesting article about availability in Cyprus

The chemist is now able to provide generic version. E20/box (10mg) as opposed to Ebixa E32/box 10mg.
