Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lv Zhiqin

For cases of memory decline, the following are commonly used medications and their functions:

1. Medications that improve cerebral metabolism and function: such as Oxiracetam Capsules, Aniracetam Capsules, etc. These medications can improve brain cell metabolism and promote brain function, thereby alleviating memory decline to some extent.

2. Medications for cerebrovascular diseases: If memory decline is caused by cerebrovascular disease, medications such as Idebenone Tablets and Nicergoline Tablets may be used. These medications help improve cerebral blood circulation and reduce brain function impairment.

3. Medications targeting the nervous system: Drugs such as Cytidine Diphosphate-Choline Sodium Capsules can be used to treat neurological sequelae caused by craniocerebral injury or cerebrovascular accidents and may also help alleviate memory decline.

4. Anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications: If memory decline is caused by emotional issues such as mental stress, anxiety, or depression, it may be necessary to use anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications under a doctor's guidance to improve emotional status and thereby alleviate memory decline.
