Old Aged, Having Memory Loss. Taking Nexito And Amenta For General Health. Any Need To Introduce New Medicine?
Hi,
My mother is 94 and is regularly having Nexito 10mg and Admenta 10mg as prescribed by doctors, along with other medicines for general health. She still complains of memory loss, although that is not really the case as we see, given her age. Should we consider enhancing or reducing the dosage or introducing any alternative or additional medicines please.
Her doctor in a GP and we do not want her to go to a psychiatrist, as she is otherwise alright. Many thanks.

Start therapeutic dose of b12,b6,folic acid and other supplements.
Intramuscular injections of b6,b12,folic acid is advisable at regular interval.
Continue other supplements and her regular medicines.
Give her positive support.
Talk with her regularly of surrounding happenings,news and other family talk.
Keep in touch with your family physician.
