The FDA recently approved the first Alzheimer's treatment drug in 18 years and the first therapy that can slow the progression of the disease instead of only treating symptoms.
These drugs work by slowly removing the abnormal buildup of amyloid protein. This buildup causes plaques that disrupt brain function in people with Alzheimer's. It does not reverse the progression of the disease but can help slow it down.
