What You Need To Know About Lewy Body Dementia

Medications To Avoid

Anticholinergic drugs should be avoided as they can worsen dopamine and cognition agonists, which may cause hallucinations. Haloperidol is a first-generation antipsychotic medication that should also be avoided because it may cause severe confusion and sedation. It can also enhance Parkinson’s symptoms and may even cause death. Second-generation antipsychotic medications may be warranted for a short time at a low dose only. A doctor will be able to determine if the benefits of a second-generation antipsychotic medication outweigh the risks.
