Core Tip	Dementia may present with neuropsychiatric symptoms that may require pharmacological interventions. Medications used for the behavioral symptoms associated with dementia are not Food and Drug Administration-approved and hence are being used off-label in the United States. The decision to start medications is based on a judicious consideration of risks and benefits. The choice of the agent should be guided by a thorough understanding of its pharmacologic properties and safety profiles, concomitant medications, and concurrent medical conditions. This article reviews the current evidence for psychotropic medications and presents recommendations with an algorithm for the treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with dementia.
