Which drug is not used in Alzheimer Disease ?
Ropinirole is an antiparkinsonian drug, while the rest of them are drugs for Alzheimer disease.The management of AD is challenging and gratifying despite the absence of a cure or a robust pharmacologic treatment. Donepezil (target dose, 10 mg daily), rivastigmine (target dose, 6 mg twice daily or 9.5-mg patch daily), galantamine (target dose 24 mg daily, extended-release), and memantine (target dose, 10 mg twice daily) are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of AD.
