      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: Patients' diets do not change when they enter the study, and their routine medication administration do not stop, Randomization description: Randomization in this study is done through block randomization with size of 6. The randomization unit is of individual type. The randomization tool of this study is Excel software and this software is also used to create random sequences. For allocation concealment, a clinical trial specialist who is not a project collaborator in a separate center, after registering the participants' information, defines the separate code on medicine box for each patient and informs the research team about the code, Blinding description: Blinding of patients is facilitated by the use of similar medicine and placebo. Neurologist and other researchers only have access to the serial number of the medicine box. The data analyzer has access to grouping but is still blind to the actual medicine and placebo information.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First intervention group: In addition to taking routine medications (10 mg Donepezil/6 mg Rivastigmine) once daily, patients receive 140 mg Silymarin tablets (Livergol 140 mg; Goldaru Pharmaceutical Company; Isfahan, Iran) orally three times daily with an interval of eight hours for 6 months. Intervention 2: Control group: In addition to taking routine medications (10 mg Donepezil/6 mg Rivastigmine) once daily, patients receive 140 mg placebo tablets (Livergol 140 mg; Goldaru Pharmaceutical Company; Isfahan, Iran) orally three times daily with an interval of eight hours for 6 months. Intervention 3: Second intervention group: In addition to taking routine medications (10 mg Donepezil/6 mg Rivastigmine) once daily, patients receive 10 mg Rosuvastatin tablets (Ropixon 10 mg; Abidi Pharmaceutical Company; Tehran, Iran) orally three times daily with an interval of eight hours for 6 months.</i_freetext>
