摘要
Delayed disease progression and symptomatic improvement occur with cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). In this study, complications (insomnia, dyskinesias, agitation, and delirium) occurred in three patients switched from donepezil to galantamine. The authors describe evidence-based recommendations for ChEI switchover in DLB.
