Hello,

 

Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. There are only a few that have shown to be useful for treating Alzheimer's disease. Some will rok better than others for different people so you need to work with your prescriber to find the best one for you. Razadyne®/Reminyl® (galantamine), Exelon® (rivastigmine), Aricept® (donepezil) and Namenda® (memantine) comprise the list. There are other drugs to help with some of the side effects like sedatives for agitation.
