The tea is fine. The mix of memantine and donepezil is the preferred treatment currently until the newer monoclonal antibodies prove valuable. But visit her doctor, as her other medications have potential anti-cholinergic effects which may negate the effects of her dementia drugs. A neurologist is recommended.
