Abstract
The review deals with pharmacotherapy for less common dementia - frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease dementia, and vascular dementia. Cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine and their pharmacodynamics and side effects are mentioned.
They differ among themselves in the degree of evidence for efficacy in individual types of dementia, dosage, pharmacodynamics, and adverse effects. In addition to pharmacotherapy, it is important to include non-pharmacological approaches in the treatment of dementia, to deploy suitable drugs in time, to adequately dose and develop new molecules for the treatment of these diseases.
All this presents new challenges form researchers in their further research on the development of new drugs and therapeutic strategies.
