Abstract
There is an overview of literature devoted to the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Medication and non-medication treatment methods for AD are discussed. The efficacy of psychosocial and behavioral therapies and cognitive training for patients with AD is highlighted. The efficacy of central acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine) and memantine in improving cognitive function, behavior and activities of daily living in oatient with AD is highlighted. The article tells about the efficacy of donepezil (Alzepil) at different stages of the disease in patients with AD and rationality of its use at 10 mg daily to achieve the best possible effect. Early diagnosis and effective treatment of patients with AD could significantly enhance the quality of life not only for patients but also for their closest relations.
