These guidelines have been developed to assist practical neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, and other specialists involved in the care

of patients with dementia. The paper is grounded on scientifically based treatment procedures that are mainly based on double-blind,

placebo-controlled studies and meta-analyses. We present the guidelines for the treatment of Alzheimer‘s disease, vascular dementia,

Parkinson‘s disease with dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. These guidelines should result in rational and effective treatment

procedures in the most common types of dementia.

Keywords: dementia, Alzheimer‘s disease, treatment procedures, ACE inhibitors.
