Is it correct to increase dosage of medicine for dementia?
human
My mother has dementia possibly due to alz. Doctor back home put her on medication to slow down the dementia. She is now staying in Marco for the winter and needs diagnosis of cause and meds changed higher dose and to the patch.  Someone recommended she see a neurologist.  Is this correct?  if not what type of doctor should she see.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicDementia is a neurological disorder which progressively lead to dementia. Ideally. dementia is treated by neurologist. If in your mother case, Alzheimer's disease is cause of dementia, then drugs could increase the symptoms rather than cause it. There are certain drugs like tricyclic antidepressants, H2 antagonists, certain antibiotics etc. just check the drugs which have been increased by doctor. Thanks
