Alzheimer’s drug results are promising – but not a major breakthrough
New ScientistMAR 27 2023
This unprecedented and historical moment in the development of Alzheimer's therapies is a big win for the Alzheimer's community — including caregivers and patients alike. The results of the trial will likely lead to the FDA granting marketing approval for the drug and begin the dawn of a new era for the treatment of this horrible disease.
This victory could come at a cost for patients who take the drug, considering the lethality of potential side effects. Before taking this medication, patients have to understand the risks and must consult with their doctors and families to determine if the positives outweigh the negatives.
