What can you do next?
If you are taking any of these prescription medications, talk to your doctor. Ask if there are any alternatives you can take that do not affect the memory. You can also ask if there are other steps you can take instead of using prescription drugs, such as herbal medications; or lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or getting more exercise.
If you must stay on the medication, lessen the load on your brain by taking proactive steps, such as focusing on a brain-healthy diet, taking supplements that support brain health, and giving your brain the best possible environment by staying mentally sharp, getting plenty of exercise to improve circulation to your brain, getting fresh air, and getting plenty of sleep.
If you regularly take over-the-counter medications for things such as allergies, acid reflux, or allergies, switching to natural remedies can give you relief of your symptoms without increasing your risk of dementia and without affecting your memory. There are plenty of articles here at Naturalon that can help you find a natural means of dealing with almost any health problem you might be experiencing.
Although no one wants to suffer from annoying cold and flu symptoms, you would be much better off using natural herbs and spices or other natural means of dealing with these common problems than risking developing dementia.

Do you really think talking to your doctor who prescribes this crap will give you a ” natural alternative when they are in the back pocket of big Pharma????

No more than “Ask your doctor if BullBleep is right for you.” (Those TV ads should be outlawed.) Am thinking 99% of regular medical doctors have no idea what “natural alternative” even means.
