How Can Dementia Be Treated?
my sister just called me hysterical saying that she was diagnosed with dementia. We have always known that she has problem but I m unable right now to find out what medication they are advising for her. I have looked in my PDR and medical dictionary but cannot come up with the drug.

HI,
There are different causes of dementia. You can try checking the drug online, it is not mentioned in the question.
You would need to make sure that you have the correct spelling of the word so that it can be easily found.
If she is not sure of the medication or not comfortable with it then she can consider speaking to her doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Hello,
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
A detailed evaluation including an MRI scan is required to rule out a central cause.
If it is due to conditions like Alzheimer’s drugs like Donepezil will be helpful.
