TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMERS

No treatment currently available can stop Alzheimers.

However, for some people in the early and middle stages of the disease, the drug tacrine may alleviate some cognitive symptoms.

Also, some medicines may help control behavioral symptoms of AD such as sleeplessness, agitation, wandering, anxiety, and depression.

Scientists are testing new drugs for Alzheimers at many large teaching hospitals and universities.
