Inappropriate Sleeping Time

Asked for Male, 63 years

My father is an Alzheimer dementia patient. Lately, he has been sleeping a lot even in the day time. Anyone who has knowledge about it and can guide if it’s right or should it be corrected? Also he was taking zexa 10 mg. Now the doctor has suggested ebexia. Anyone who has given this medicine to his/her patient and seen any sort of improvement

Dear Patient,

Here is some information about his increased sleepiness and what to do to help him cope with this change.

Unfortunately, I have no experience of usage of the drug EBEXIA but here's something I know; Memantine is prescribed to improve memory, attention, reason, language and the ability to perform simple tasks. It can be used alone or with other Alzheimer’s disease treatment. You could meet our neurologists for more information.

For further help, we recommend checking with one of the
