Extending Quality of Life with Alzheimer’s Medications

Defined Tag: Alzheimer’s Medications.

There was a time when Alzheimer’s meant a life sentence of not remembering who people where, how to do daily chores, and having sudden and violent mood shifts. While these symptoms of Alzheimer’s have not ceased to exist, there are ways to slow down the Alzheimer’s progression and provide more better days for the patient and the family. There are no cures for Alzheimer’s disease; there is just the hope that with Alzheimer’s medications, more good days can be added to the loved one’s life.

There are five drugs that are commonly used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Aricept, Cognex, Exelon, and Razadyne four out of the five medications, and these are all Cholinesterase inhibitors. These drugs help prevent the breakdown of Acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is the enzyme that is responsible for the connections of cells and is very important for the recall of memorized information. Each of these four drugs has shown significant improvements on the patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

The last of the drugs is Namenda. This drug helps to prevent the break down of nerves and cells by preventing glutamate from affecting the brain and breaking down the nerves so important for mood and behavior control as well as memory recall. This drug has been known to be most effective for those with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease.

While there is no cure, and not all patients respond to the medications, there is hope for some. This hope comes in the form of Alzheimer’s medications that offer some hope to the hopeless cases doomed to lose their memories and personalities to this horrific disease. With Alzheimer’s medications, the affects of the disease may be slowed significantly, and in some instances, stopped all together. While it would nice to say that these medications are guarantees, this is not the case, and should not be viewed as such. One’s doctor would be able to assist one with making the best choices for the loved ones and handling the pain that comes with having a member of the family stricken with this terrible disease.
