Dementia Alert: The Dangerous Side of Common Meds
About this episode
It's our mission to make dementia caregiving easier for families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, or any other type of dementia. We believe that in order to create a more dementia friendly world, we must first create a caregiver friendly world. That's why we create free educational training videos like this one so that anyone with an internet connection can get access to dementia care information.
In this video, we discuss a crucial matter: the potential dangers of this common over the counter medication for individuals with dementia. I'm here to provide insights into why you need to be cautious about using products containing diphenhydramine, and how it can affect someone with dementia.
