      abstract = {Alzheimers disease is the most prevalent form of dementia.  Although it was discovered about a century ago, the first  drugs applied in treatment were only introduced in therapy  in the last 30 years. This book focuses on the clinical  pharmacology of drugs that aim to delay the progression of  Alzheimers disease, such as anticholinesterases and  glutamate receptor antagonists, as well as treatment for  the behavioral changes caused by the progression of the  disease: antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and  mood stabilizers. In addition, it describes important  information about the pathophysiology and diagnostic  methods of Alzheimers disease, emergency situations  conditioned by the dementia process, and presents new  perspectives for the treatment of Alzheimers disease. The  ten chapters cover topics such as mechanism of action,  dosage regimen, adverse reactions, drug interactions,  toxicity profiles, among other information of clinical  relevance. The work comprises evidence-based studies,  providing a valuable resource for analyzing, prescribing  and monitoring patients being treated for Alzheimers  disease. Written by experts with solid professional  experience, this book will appeal to pharmacologists,  geriatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, biomedical  clinicians, and other healthcare professionals.},
