Current and Emerging Pharmacological Dementia Treatment Options

Roest Simons*

Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, causing cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral changes. While there is no cure for dementia, pharmacological treatments aim to manage symptoms and slow down disease progression. This article provides an overview of the current pharmacological options, including cholinesterase inhibitors and NMDA receptor antagonists, commonly used in dementia treatment. Additionally, it explores emerging therapies, such as anti-amyloid therapies, tau protein stabilizers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and neuroprotective agents, which hold promise for modifying the underlying pathology of dementia. Continued research in pharmacological interventions is crucial for developing more effective treatments and improving the lives of individuals affected by dementia.
