Drug treatments for Alzheimer's disease
No new drugs have been licensed in the UK for Alzheimer’s disease since memantine in 2002. However, there is a lot of research into new drug treatments. These aim either to give people better relief from symptoms or – if possible – to slow down or stop the disease in the brain.
