Abstract

Aim

This review has examined and organized the available research on dementia medication care costs. Although the accessible database in this area is growing and is still quite limited, there are many clear scientific methods.

Objective

The use of Memantine, a non-competitive antagonist with low to moderate affinity for the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, has been approved for the treatment of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's disease (AD). The efficacy of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) in the treatment of dementia varies depending on the drug type and ease of administration. Numerous techniques have been employed to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of individuals suffering from dementia. QOL data is a well-established measure of an intervention's effectiveness. Up to now, cost-effectiveness studies have concentrated on both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological therapy. Each unit of QoL-AD improvement costs USD27.82578 at mean values.

Methods

Searches were conducted to observe studies of the pharmacoeconomic impact of dementia medications with the help of previous articles published in journals and collected from Google Scholar with name search dementia or Alzheimer's cross-referenced with pharmacoeconomic costs and effectiveness.
