Will Quetiapine Help An Abusive Alzheimer's Patient To Calm Down?
Hi. My Granny who is almost 90 yrs old has been an Alzimers patient. She has been on Alzil 5 for a few years and her symptoms have been pretty much regulated. off late she has become increasingly 'hyper' and very temperamental, abusive and fearful. the doctor has now recommended that we start Quitipin 25mg. I would like to seek an opinion on whether this will indeed help her condition i.e. will she become a little more peaceful and not suffer? are there likely to be any side effects that we should be aware of given her age. Thank you.
your granny is on very good medicine alzil 5 mg is very useful to control further progression of dementia quitipine 25 mg has dual role

Hello, Yes, quetiapine can.be helpful, safe for her age and would relax her. You may need to go upto 50-75 mg. Take care of sedation induced falls. prefer giving at night time.
