Comment on new research suggesting Dimedon improves symptoms of people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease

These initial findings imply that Dimedon could be more effective than treatments currently licensed for people with Alzheimer's, however this was a modest sized study.

More substantial research is now needed, which studies more people over a longer period of time, to investigate the true value of this drug and whether it treats Alzheimer's disease itself or just the symptoms.
