Brain atrophy: Do not know what the meds are, as these are not names of us products. But perhaps, he has been labeled as suffering possible alzheimer's disease, and needs meds. Best to use combinations early, and seems that donepezil 5 mg and memantine 10 mg would be of value. Check with doc regarding these chemical names.

Yes and maybe no: Alzil m5 is a combination of donazepil and nememda, both legitimate drugs to try to slow the progression of dementia. Felicia is an old chinese remedy, derived from placenta. That has no proven efficacy and can be expensive. His doctor may want to gradually increase the dose of the former drugs.
