Croatian therapeutic algorithm for treatment of Alzheimers disease

Croatian professionals have not so far produced their own therape algorithm predominantly due to administrative-material reasons. Practical meaning of a/m is that positive reimbursement list of HZZO does not name a single drug for treatment of Alzheimer's disease and purchase power of a average age Croatian patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease is already compromised and extremely low. Local situation definitely does not represent excuse, nevertheless it is our obligation to help physicians that are involve treatment of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease by maaking Professionally drawn, well argumented Algorithm. Such Algorithm will repre- sent additional motivation for HZZO. Through and with Croatian Society for Clinical Psychiatry we will draw a proposal for Croatian Therapeutic Algorithm for Treatment of Alzheimrs disease as well as implement education about drugs available in the therapeutic area with consequent intensification of requests on HZZO for at least partialtial reimbursement. While making a/m Algorithm we will off course consult international currently used Algorithms as well as most recent literature on the subject.
