Donepezil plus Memantine is the standard treatment for Alzheimer's and helps improve memory, daily functioning, and slow decline. Citicoline plus Piracetam mainly improves blood flow and cognition but is not a primary Alzheimer's treatment. For your mother's symptoms, the first combination is usually more effective. Follow your neurologist's guidance.
