As a caregiver of an Alzheimer patient there are many things that you’ll have to know about medication besides what dose it should be given at. This includes possible side effects and over dose symptoms. Always make sure that you keep medication safely away from your patient so that there is no chance of an over dose occurring. Keep a list of the medication that you’re giving the patient along with times that it should be taken. Mark down each dose that you give the patient so that there is no chance of you duplicating the dose.

This is important since you are the one who will be responsible for the care of your patient and the administering of all drugs.
