Several medications are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat symptoms of Alzheimer's. Donepezil (AriceptÂ®), rivastigmine (ExelonÂ®), and galantamine (RazadyneÂ®) are used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's (donepezil can be used for severe Alzheimer's as well). Memantine (NamendaÂ®), is used to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's.
Drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease is important, but the benefits are small, and drugs should only be one part of a person's overall care. Non-drug treatments, activities and support are just as important in helping someone to live well with Alzheimer's disease.o new drugs have been licensed in the UK for Alzheimer's disease since memantine in 2002. However, there is a lot of research into new drug treatments. These aim either to give better relief from symptoms or-if possible-to slow down or stop the underlying disease in the brain.
