Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy

Alzheimer's disease therapy aims to improve symptoms and slow progression by targeting brain chemicals involved in memory and thinking. Medications like cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., donepezil) help boost communication between brain cells, potentially enhancing memory and function. Other drugs may address behavioral symptoms or target underlying disease processes. While current treatments cannot cure Alzheimer’s, they can improve quality of life and help manage challenges. Ongoing research explores new approaches, including therapies that protect brain cells and reduce damage, with the hope of developing more effective options in the future.
