Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment
Memory loss can sometimes be a normal part of ageing, but persistent forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty managing familiar tasks or noticeable changes in behaviour may need medical evaluation.
At Idika Neuro Clinic, Alzheimer’s evaluation and treatment are provided by Dr. Shruti Agrawal, Neurologist, in Andheri West, Mumbai. The evaluation focuses on understanding the nature of memory and cognitive changes, identifying possible causes and deciding whether the symptoms are related to Alzheimer’s disease, another neurological condition or a potentially treatable cause of cognitive decline.
If you are looking for Alzheimer’s Treatment in Andheri West, Idika Neuro Clinic provides neurological consultation and ongoing management for patients experiencing memory and cognitive problems.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform daily activities. It is the most common cause of dementia, particularly in older adults.
The condition gradually damages brain cells, leading to worsening cognitive function over time. Early diagnosis and intervention can help slow progression and improve symptom management.
You or your loved one may benefit from an evaluation if experiencing:
Early evaluation is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
The first step in Alzheimer’s treatment is an appropriate assessment.
During a consultation, Dr. Shruti Agrawal may review:
We ensure a respectful, patient-focused approach throughout the process.
Not every forgotten name or misplaced key means Alzheimer’s. Normal ageing can cause occasional memory lapses. The red flag is when memory problems become consistent and start affecting everyday life—appointments, finances, driving, orientation or managing routine tasks. Your talk places this progression on a continuum from normal ageing → very mild cognitive decline → MCI → mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease.

Because Alzheimer’s disease can begin before a person becomes dependent. Someone may still be cooking, working and managing the household while subtle cognitive changes are already present. In fact, the early symptomatic stages—particularly MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease and mild Alzheimer’s dementia—are important treatment windows.

This is one of the most important questions. Traditional symptomatic medicines such as donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine and memantine are used to improve or maintain cognitive and functional abilities at different stages. Your presentation particularly emphasizes that starting donepezil early can provide cognitive and functional benefits. Alzheimer’s Disease as a Continuum When Should Treatment Truly Begin.ppt
The goal isn’t necessarily to “cure” Alzheimer’s. It is to preserve the person’s abilities for as long as possible—remembering, communicating, functioning and remaining independent. Your presentation highlights that symptomatic treatment can improve symptoms, although it does not stop the underlying disease pathology.

Not necessarily. Alzheimer’s is progressive, but treatment can still have a role in moderate and even severe disease. The presentation shows benefits of donepezil in moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s, including retention of instrumental and basic activities of daily living.
This is a very real family dilemma. “Severe” does not automatically mean “nothing more can be done.” Your presentation discusses evidence for continuing donepezil even in severe Alzheimer’s, with improvements in cognitive measures and preservation of function compared with placebo.

Not necessarily. Families sometimes expect a person who forgets everything to suddenly become their old self. The realistic goal is often improvement, stabilization or slower functional deterioration, rather than a dramatic reversal. Importantly, the presentation notes that the symptomatic benefit diminishes over time as the underlying disease continues to progress.

This is an important conversation before stopping treatment. Your presentation highlights that the symptomatic improvement or stabilization can be lost after discontinuation. It also presents evidence supporting long-term continuation and persistent benefits with ongoing treatment.
Yes. This is where the treatment landscape has changed. Your talk distinguishes symptomatic treatments from newer anti-amyloid therapies such as lecanemab, which target an underlying pathological mechanism. These therapies are aimed at early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease, including MCI or mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s Disease as a Continuum When Should Treatment Truly Begin.ppt
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the entire talk: don’t wait until the patient becomes severely dependent. Alzheimer’s is a continuum, and earlier stages may offer a greater opportunity to preserve cognition and function. The treatment decision depends on where the person is on that continuum, what type of treatment is being considered, and the individual’s risks and suitability.
