    Overview: In this episode, we look at a new study showing increased probability of survival for patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) who take donepezil and memantine together. We review current treatments for AD and address common hesitations in prescribing dual pharmacotherapy, providing vital insights for primary care clinicians.
