Core Tip |
Dextromethorphan-quinidine is approved for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect and may be effective in managing agitation in dementia. There is only one published trial that has evaluated the use dextromethorphan-quinidine for agitation in dementia. The study was of good quality and found that dextromethorphan-quinidine decreases severity of agitation when compared to placebo. Additionally, dextromethorphan-quinidine was fairly well tolerated and did not appear to cause significant sedation or worsen cognitive symptoms among individuals with dementia. |
