Management of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore

Alzheimer's disease treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore and the disease types can be challenging to diagnose. In order to diagnose dementia, a medical professional must recognise the pattern of loss of skills and function and determine what the patient is still able to do. Recently, genetic markers have made it possible to make a more reliable diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

In addition to reviewing your health history and symptoms, your doctor will perform a physical examination. It is impossible to establish dementia with a single test, so physicians will likely run a number of tests to narrow down the cause.

Treatment method

Although most types of dementia cannot be cured, there are ways to manage their symptoms.

Medications

Symptoms of dementia can temporarily be improved with the following treatments.

  • The use of cholinesterase inhibitors. These medications boost a chemical messenger involved in memory and judgement, such as donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine.

These medications are primarily used to treat Alzheimer's disease. However, they may also be prescribed for other forms of dementia, such as vascular dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia, and Lewy body dementia.

It is not uncommon to experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea as side effects. There are also possible side effects, such as slowed heart rate, fainting, and sleep disturbances.

In addition to treating depression, sleep disturbances, hallucinations, parkinsonism, and agitation, your doctor may prescribe medications to alleviate other symptoms or diagnoses.
