KNOW YOUR DEMENTIA MEDS
When it comes to dementia care, more medication isn’t always the answer.
In fact, some medications can worsen confusion, increase falls, or trigger agitation, making things harder, not better.
At Dr Liz Geriatrics, we take a different approach. We look closely at every medication and ask: Is this helping… or could it be causing harm?
Often, the biggest improvements don’t come from adding another prescription but from:
• Reducing unnecessary medications
• Identifying side effects
• Using calm, compassionate communication to ease distress
Because dementia care is not just about managing symptoms, it’s about improving quality of life.
