People with Down syndrome may take medication to manage conditions commonly associated with the syndrome, such as thyroid issues, heart conditions, and behavioral concerns. The specific type of medication will depend on the individual's health needs and any underlying medical conditions. It is important for individuals with Down syndrome to have regular check-ups with healthcare providers to monitor their health and determine appropriate treatment options.

Do you think it should be forbidden for someone with Down syndrome to become a parent?

WikiAnswers contributors share their opinions;There is no way a person with Down syndrome could take care of anybody else, let alone themselves.Some people with Down syndrome marry. With rare exceptions, men with Down syndrome cannot father a child. In any pregnancy, a woman with Down syndrome has a 50-50 chance of conceiving a child with Down syndrome, but many affected fetuses are miscarried. Knowing that says that nature is taking care of itself. If two people who love each other have a chance at having a healthy baby, then the best of luck to them. After all, "normal people" have babies with down syndrome and they are loved.And again I will say that males with Down syndrome are almost all sterile (only 1 case documented). And if a female with Down syndrome becomes pregnant with a viable fetus, the father obviously does not have Down syndrome.Some people with Down syndrome are able to function and be a lot more independent than others. As to whether it should be forbidden, my answer is this: "HELL, NO!" Didn't you ever watch "Life Goes On"? If so, do you remember Corky?

What medication do you need for Asperger's Syndrome?

There is no medication to cure Asperger's Syndrome, although there are medications that can help with some of the effects of Asperger's Syndrome. It will depend on the person and the effects of Asperger's Syndrome on that person. Some people do not need medication for Asperger's Syndrome (or very rarely).A person with Asperger's Syndrome might have a prescription for lorazepam to help when subjected to stressful situations. A person with Asperger's Syndrome might become depressed because of effects of the condition, so he or she might take anti-depressants. There are other conditions that are often co-morbid with Asperger's Syndrome, such as ADHD, so the person might be on medications for that, as well.
