Article on Reuters - Alzheimer drugs don't delay dementia onset -study
Extract:
"LONDON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Giving Alzheimer's drugs to people with early memory problems does not seem to delay the onset of the disease, researchers said on Tuesday.
Three main drugs -- Aricept, or donepezil; Exelon, or rivastigmine; and Reminyl, or galantamine -- are currently approved for use in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
They are also often prescribed on a so-called "off-label" basis to people with pre-dementia."
