Although three cholinesterase inhibitors and one glutamate NMDA receptor antagonist are available in Taiwan to treat dementia, their insurance reimbursement is strictly regulated and only a small proportion of patients with AD receive medical treatment. A local consensus of and guideline for treatment of dementia is needed in Taiwan. Therefore, the Guideline Subcommittee of the Taiwan Dementia Society summarized the data of cholinesterase inhibitors and glutamate NMDA receptor antagonist for treatment of the patients with AD according to the principles of evidence- based medicine.
