  a. Antipsychotic medications have been shown to be the most useful category of drugs in reducing behavioral problems in dementias.
  b. Most currently available medications slow the progress of the disease in 20 to 50 of patients but usually do not significantly improve functioning.
  c. None of the currently available medications for dementias provide a cure, and although some vitamins may be helpful, research so far is inconclusive.
  d. Certain antidepressant drugs are sometimes helpful in improving sleep, reducing irritability, and lessening anxiety.
  e. Elderly persons require more careful dosing, more monitoring, and are more sensitive to side effects, particularly when taking multiple drugs.
