This drug is def used for helping with
psychotic disorders. It's an antipsychotic
drug. Never heard of it for treating
alzheimers disease. But I have given it to
patients for the behaviors that sometimes
come with the disease itself. For treating
they commonly use Aricept, Namenda,
Razadyne, and a coulpe of other drugs out
there. Hope this helps.
