Medications

There are four specific medicines licensed to treat Alzheimer's dementia, three of these are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (Donepezil, Galantamine and Rivastigmine) and the fourth is an NMDA Receptor Agonist (Memantine).

None of these medicines can cure dementia, but they may help with slowing down the advancement and process of the disease and may also help reduce some symptoms.
