5. Potential of Some Diuretics

A common diuretic has recently shown potential as an Alzheimer's treatment. While this drug is FDA-approved to treat high blood pressure and swelling related to kidney, heart, and liver disease, it was previously studied as a potential treatment for other brain disorders, like schizophrenia and depression. Studies found that this drug also affects the central nervous system.

Researchers believe it might be particularly effective for people with one or two copies of the gene APOE4, which increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Studies on rats have been promising, but more research is needed.
