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.
- 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。
