Dementia clinically refers to Alzheimer’s disease. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil and memantine can be taken to improve cognitive function, and sertraline and risperidone can also be taken to control mental symptoms.
1. Drugs to improve cognitive function: Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil and sertraline can be used under doctor’s supervision to improve nerve conduction function and then improve cognitive function, and memantine can also be used to improve cognitive function by regulating glutamate activity.
2. Drugs to control psychiatric symptoms: If the patient has symptoms such as hallucinations and depression, antidepressants such as fluoxetine and sertraline can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Antipsychotic drugs such as risperidone are also available.
The medication can only alleviate the symptoms and the progress of the disease, and at the same time need to be taken strictly in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
