Making Sense of Medications in Lewy Body Dementia
Join us for “Making Sense of Medications in Lewy Body Dementia”, with Dr. Matt Barrett of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Designed to provide a clear and informative overview for individuals living with Lewy body dementia (LBD) and their care partners, this webinar will explain the most commonly used medications in LBD, why certain drugs may be helpful, and which ones should be avoided due to sensitivities unique to LBD. Dr. Barrett will also discuss the potential side effects and medication-related challenges that occur more frequently in LBD, to help you know what to watch for as treatment plans evolve. This Exploring the Science webinar will provide you with practical, evidence‑based information to support safer, more effective medication management—empowering you to work confidently with your health care team.
