Early Signs of Alzheimer
What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, characterized by the buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. This leads to the decline of cognitive function, memory loss, and behavioral changes over time.
Exploring Alzheimer’s Treatment: Understanding and Managing the Disease
Early Symptoms of Alzheimer’s
🧠 Memory loss affecting daily activities
🗣️ Difficulty finding words or following conversations
🔄 Repetitive behaviors and confusion
📍 Getting lost in familiar places
💡 Difficulty with problem-solving and decision-making
Current Alzheimer’s Treatments
While no treatment can stop Alzheimer’s, medications and lifestyle changes can slow progression and improve daily functioning.
1. Medications for Symptom Management
💊 Cholinesterase Inhibitors (Donepezil, Rivastigmine, Galantamine) – Help boost communication between nerve cells and manage mild-to-moderate symptoms.
💊 NMDA Receptor Antagonists (Memantine) – Supports brain function in moderate-to-severe cases.
💊 New FDA-Approved Drugs (Lecanemab, Aducanumab, Donanemab) – Target amyloid plaques and may help slow disease progression.
