Medications used to manage agitation & other behaviors associated with dementia may result in a less than optimum outcome & can have troublesome side effects. When possible, a safer, kinder alternative is to create a calm environment, keep the person engaged in meaningful activities, & ensure that the person's sense of self worth and dignity is recognized & protected.
