However, the fact that clinical trials of these drugs have not yet yielded satisfactory results has meant that for the time being patients continue to be treated only with symptomatic drugs. Currently, four such drugs are available: donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine, and memantine. In this book, the four leading experts on each of these drugs explain their practical pharmacology with the aim of providing a sound basis for their use, which to date has been of questionable proficiency. In addition, an introductory chapter considers the basic theory of pharmacology for Alzheimer?s disease and the book closes with an overview of the ways in which symptomatic drugs are used for dementia. 606 $aPsychopharmacology 606 $aNeurology  606 $aPharmacotherapy 606 $aPsychopharmacology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H53010 606 $aNeurology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H36001 606 $aPharmacotherapy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H69000 615 0$aPsychopharmacology. 615 0$aNeurology . 615 0$aPharmacotherapy. 615 14$aPsychopharmacology. 615 24$aNeurology. 615 24$aPharmacotherapy. 676 $a610 700 $aKudo$b Takashi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064625 702 $aDavis$b Kenneth L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBlesa Gonzalez$b Rafael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWilkinson$b David George$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254504103321 996 $aPractical Pharmacology for Alzheimer?s Disease$92539787 997 $aUNINA
