Hi,
My mother, 80, a patient of Left Ventricle Dysfunction and Mitral Valve Regurgitation with cardiac ejection friction of just 20%.
14 months back, she was diagnosed with DEMENTIA. She was prescribed 5 mg Aricept (Donepezil) After 4 months of diagnoses, Aricept was increased to 10 mg.
As of now, she is in much deteriorated condition. Doctor increased dosage of Aricept to 15 mg (5 mg in the morning & 10 mg at night) and Ebixa (Memantine) 5 mg in the morning. Her primary neurological termed her dementia as Alzheimer's in moderate phase. Another neuro physician called it as "Fronto Temporal Dementia" while another neurologist said she has "Vascular Dementia" & changed changed medication to 10 mg Memantine and 10 mg Aricept
