What You Need To Know About Lewy Body Dementia

Medical Treatment

Although there is no cure for Lewy body dementia, several treatment options are available based on an individual’s unique symptoms. Medications include Parkinson’s disease medications, such as carbidopa-levodopa, which are used to reduce rigid muscles and treat slow muscle movement; cholinesterase inhibitors, such as rivastigmine, which work by increasing neurotransmitters in the brain to enhance memory and cognitive function; and medications to treat other symptoms, such as movement or sleep problems.
