回复：国内有个亲戚得了老年痴呆

针对不同症状，药物分几组。对改善记忆或减缓发展的，主要是一下几种药物

Two types of Alzheimer's disease treatment

There are two types of treatments used to manage Alzheimer's disease. They both work differently in the brain.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors work by helping to increase the amount of acetylcholine in the brain, a chemical that is important for memory and learning.

Three of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors approved by the FDA to treat Alzheimer's disease are:

• ARICEPT* (donepezil HCl), approved to treat all stages of Alzheimer's disease
• EXELON** (rivastigmine tartrate), approved to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease
• EXELON PATCH (rivastigmine transdermal system), approved to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease
• RAZADYNE*** (galantamine HBr), approved to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease

Glutamate pathway modifiers (NAMENDA) work differently than the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Glutamate is another chemical in the brain that is important for learning and memory.

• NAMENDA is currently the only drug of its type approved to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.

NAMENDA and ARICEPT (donepezil HCI 5-10 mg) work in different ways; taking them together may be beneficial.

 

各个药物的建议剂量，可以参考这篇文章。不过白种人跟黄种人的剂量耐受有差异，所以要咨询国内医生。

至于保健品，没有足够的统计数据，也没有相应的剂量和原理。尽量不要瞎吃。
