Portraits of Patients: "ANA"
"Ana, 94, was losing the ability to communicate. Meaningful conversation had been replaced with relentless screaming, frustrating her daughter, who served as her caregiver.
When Ana presented to Dr. Jose Pujols, her symptoms included confusion and memory loss. Dr. Pujols staged her previously diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD) as moderate. Since Ana had continued to decline on the Alzheimer's medication she was taking, Dr. Pujols wanted her to try a different medication, EXELON.
At her advanced age, Ana had other medical problems, including arthritis and heart disease, and was taking a number of medications. So Dr. Pujols increased her dose slowly. He showed that with careful titration even elderly patients on multiple medications can experience the benefits of the maximum dose of EXELON.
Today, Dr. Pujols has "changed" Ana's disease stage to mild. Besides regaining her ability to carry on a meaningful conversation, Ana is more active in her daily living. Thanks to EXELON, Ana is able to share her lifetime of experiences with her daughter and appreciate the world around her..."
