Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are prescribed to dementia patients despite their poor tolerance. Low tolerability potentially reduces persistence and adherence, while inducing switching between medications. Comparisons of these utilization measures contribute to knowledge of the relative tolerability of these medications. AIM: The aim was to compare persistence, adherence, and switching between donepezil, galantamine, oral rivastigmine, and rivastigmine patch. |
