My mother is 87 years old and has been diagnosed with moderate dementia. She is currently on 10mg of
Aricept and seems to be doing well. Her doctor wants her to start on a regiman of
Namenda. That regimen would have her on 10mg twice a day after a four week starter regiman. Our problem is that she would not be getting her morning dose on a regular schedule, therefore a 2 dose regiman is not feasible. Will a single dose of 5, 10 or 20mg be of any affect?
