Galantamine versus Risperidone for Agitation in People with Dementia: A Randomized, Twelve-Week, Single-Center Study.

Conclusions: Agitation improved in both groups, even if the treatment effects were more pronounced in the risperidone group; however, the effects on cognition and other aspects of tolerability were stronger with galantamine. © 2014 S.
