    No cure exists for Alzheimer's, but medication and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. Memantine, Donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine can be prescribed for people with early- to mid-stage Alzheimer's disease. The latest guidelines recommend that these medicines should be continued in the later, severe, stages of the disease. Physical activities, recreational therapies, social interaction, etc will help in reducing the severity of symptoms.
