Used for Dementia

Ergoloid mesylates is a combination medication used to treat confusion and problems with memory, communication, and decision making (less mental capacity) that arise from an unclear cause. It's not commonly used because it's only prescribed if your symptoms aren't caused by an identifiable condition, such as Alzheimer's dementia.
