Dementia Patient Refusing Medication
If your loved one is living with dementia, it’s important that they receive the proper treatment for their condition. Not only can medication-related problems be dangerous, but it can also affect their quality of life.
The first thing you should do when your loved one refuses to take their medications is find out why they aren’t taking them. If it’s because they’re afraid, rushed or just don’t understand what they’re supposed to do, try breaking it down into small steps that they can do themselves.

If you’re not sure what that could be, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about making it easier for them to swallow the pills or finding another medication that can be given in a liquid form.
When it comes to assessing medication, it’s also important to keep in mind that people with dementia tend to have “good” and “bad” times of day. If they get sundowning symptoms, don’t give them medication in the afternoon or evening unless you’re absolutely certain they need it.
In addition to analyzing the patient’s behavior, you should also consider the environment of their home, such as how they use the bathroom and other areas that might be difficult for them to navigate. Keeping these factors in mind can help you provide your loved one with the best possible care, regardless of their age or health condition.
