New Alzheimer's Drug Rember Hailed As Breakthrough | Health | Sky News
New Alzheimer's Drug Rember Hailed As Breakthrough | Health | Sky News: "Scientists have developed a drug that could prove twice as effective as current medicines in treating Alzheimer's."All too late already for Gan Gan and anyone already diagnosed with Alzheimer's as further clinical tests are needed and it will be at least 4 years before the drug becomes available and it is likely to be used only on those in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
Stages of Alzheimer's: "Stages of Alzheimer's
Stage 1: No impairment
Stage 2: Very mild decline
Stage 3: Mild decline
Stage 4: Moderate decline (mild or early stage)
Stage 5: Moderately severe decline (moderate or mid-stage)
Stage 6: Severe decline (moderately severe or mid-stage)
Stage 7: Very severe decline (severe or late stage)"
The expert rolled out on the TV news reckoned the drug would be used before stage 4 is reached so early diagnosis will be even more crucial.
