Why is Razadyne prescribed?

Razadyne can delay or even reverse mental decline in some patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to work by boosting levels of the chemical messenger acetylcholine in the brain. (In Alzheimer's disease, the cells that produce acetylcholine slowly deteriorate.)

Razadyne is a temporary remedy. It doesn't work for everyone, and it doesn't halt the underlying disease.
