Objective: To explore the efficacy and tolerance of Memantine combined Reinhartdt And Sea Cucumber Capsule (R.S.C) on treating agitation in patients with moderate-severe Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: One hundred and fifty-eight moderate-sever AD patients from Sep.2013 to Sep.2014 in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were randomly divided into two groups: group of Memantine combined R. S.C and group of single Memantine. Then Mini-Mental Sate Examination (MMSE) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) were used to evaluate cognition symptom, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and agitation symptom at the baseline and the end of 24 weeks.The Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) was used to assess adverse reaction and tolerance.At last, the data was analyzed by chi-square test, t-test and covariance test. Result: At the terminal of experience, the total NPI scores and agitation factor decreased markedly in both of the two groups (P<0.05). Among the patients who had agitation symptom at the baseline, the total NPI scores and agitation factor (18±5, 3.7±2.6) in group of Memantine combined R. S.C were notably lower than those in the group of single Memantine (21±6, 5.3±2.5) (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reaction between the two groups had no significant difference (combined treatment group was 27.7%, single treatment group was 23.2%). One patient dropped out because of skin allergy, and most adverse reactions were tolerant. Conclusions: Both two groups are effective in agitation and BPSD, and Memantine combined R. S.C is better than single treatment.R.S.C dose not aggravate adverse reaction and can be well tolerated.
