The cardiovascular benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists have been well-established; however, clinical trials to date have examined composite cardiovascular endpoints that include, but do not specifically focus on, stroke. The purpose of this case review is to examine the evidence for the various diabetes medications in reducing the risk for stroke. This literature review was inspired by a patient seen in a geriatric day hospital program with diabetes and a history of multiple strokes. Our goal was to select a diabetes management regimen that would provide both glycemic control and stroke risk reduction. As diabetes and cerebrovascular disease commonly coexist and are important contributors to morbidity and mortality in older individuals, appropriate management must incorporate both current evidence as well as consideration for patient-specific factors that may influence the treatment plan. This patient case illustrates the importance of both.</p>","PeriodicalId":41635,"journal":{"name":"Senior Care Pharmacist","volume":"39 10","pages":"350-359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142366867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cognitive symptoms of dementia include impairments in problem-solving, memory, and language. Some patients experience noncognitive symptoms in addition to the cognitive symptoms of dementia.

The primary objective of our study was to examine the therapeutic options, guidelines, and clinical considerations for the management of BPSD. The existing literature about BPSD was reviewed with searches in PubMed, MEDLINE, and online search platforms.

Pharmacologic therapies used in the treatment of BPSD include antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and anticonvulsants.
