Abstract
Methods are disclosed for treating dementia, including mild cognitive impairment, via administration of D-cycloserine, or a prodrug thereof, on a tolerance-inhibiting basis. Specifically, by administering D-cycloserine on a tolerance-inhibiting basis, tolerance to D-cycloserine is less likely than would occur via daily administration, enhancing benefits and reducing costs and side effects. Pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dementia are additionally disclosed.
