Some medications can help treat Alzheimer’s disease. |
There are medicines that can treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. However, there is no cure. Some medicines keep your memory loss and other symptoms from getting worse for a time. These medicines work best if Alzheimer’s disease is found early. Other medicines work to help you sleep better or feel less worried and depressed. These medicines don’t directly treat the disease. They do help you feel more comfortable.
