#seniorhealth #brainhealth #dementia #seniorhealth #dementia #brainhealth Many common prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications quietly interfere with brain function, causing memory loss and increasing dementia risk in older adults over 60. In this video, we break down nine widely used drugs for sleep, allergies, acid reflux (heartburn), cholesterol, high blood pressure, anxiety, mood disorders, and overactive bladder that impair acetylcholine, a critical neurotransmitter for memory. Learn why these medications reach the brain, the safer medical alternatives you can discuss with your doctor, and the single most overlooked danger of daily medication management.
