Memantine is used to slow the neurotoxicity of Alzheimer disease. Rosuvastatin used as a lipid-lowering agent . Increased bioavailability of endothelial-derived nitric oxide improves endothelium function , increases cerebral blood flow which may all contribute to the neuroprotective effects of rosuvastatin . The goal of this clinical trial is to prevent oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with colorectal cancer.The aim of this current study is to assess the neuroprotective effect of memantine and rosuvastatin against oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy.
