Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholinergics are drugs that increase the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is important for memory. In Alzheimer's disease, there is a decrease in the amount of acetylcholine in the brain, which leads to memory loss. Cholinergic drugs can help to alleviate this symptom in the early stages of the disease. Benzodiazepines, low dose aspirin, and triliptal are not indicated for the treatment of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease.
