Alzheimer's Disease

Treatments and Research - Treatments

No treatment can stop Alzheimer's disease. However, for some people in the early and middle stages of the disease, the drugs Aricept®, Exelon® or Razadyne® -- previously known as Reminyl® -- may help prevent some symptoms from becoming worse for a limited time. Aricept® is also approved for severe symptoms of Alzheimer's. Another drug, Namenda®, is approved for use in moderate to severe forms of the disease, although it is also limited in its effects.
