Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lv Zhiqin
When memory is severely impaired, the following medications may be considered under a doctor's guidance to improve it:
1. Oxiracetam or Aniracetam: These medications belong to a class of drugs known as cerebral metabolic agents, which offer brain protective effects and provide nourishment to nerves. They are commonly used in the treatment of brain injuries resulting from cerebrovascular disease or head trauma and are effective in improving cognitive function and memory.
2. Cytidine diphosphate-choline capsules: Another type of cerebral metabolic agent that promotes brain cell nutrition and repair, aiding in memory improvement.
3. Idebenone: As a cerebral metabolic agent, it improves mitochondrial energy supply and can enhance memory impaired by various causes.
4. Donepezil: If memory impairment is caused by Alzheimer's disease, Donepezil cannot immediately improve memory but can slow disease progression.
5. Vitamin supplements: Such as vitamin B12 and folic acid, which may benefit individuals with deficiencies in these nutrients.
If memory decline persists or worsens, prompt medical attention is recommended.
