For Alzheimer’s -There are currently no cures for Alzheimer’s. Treatments aim to slow progression and manage symptoms.

Medications:

• Cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) – improve communication between nerve cells.
  • Memantine – regulates glutamate, supports memory/learning.
  • Newer drugs (like lecanemab) target amyloid plaques, but only slow early disease progression

Non-drug therapies:

• Cognitive therapy, structured routines
  • Music, art, and reminiscence therapy
  • Caregiver support
