Treatment Options for Alzheimer's Disease
How is Alzheimer's disease treated?
There isn't a cure yet for Alzheimer's disease. But there are things that can be done to maintain quality of life.
The doctor, family, and the loved one can work together to make a care plan. Care plans may include any of the following:
- Medicines. These may slow down symptoms for a while and make the disease easier to live with. These medicines may not work for everyone or have a big effect. But most experts think they're worth a try.
- Regular doctor visits to check the person's response to medicine, look for new problems, see how symptoms are changing, and provide continuing education to the family.
- Treating other health conditions, such as depression or hearing and vision loss.
- Planning how the person can be as independent as possible and manage his or her own life for as long as possible.
