LIRAGLUTIDE.

Is this the magic potion that stops the progression of Alzheimer's? The test on too few patients-38, for too short a time-26 weeks. provided "proof in principle" that this unforgiving illness can be halted. As I write the drug is being tested on 206 people at 20 UK hospitals.And if the results are positive, LIRAGLUTIDE would become the first licensed dementia treatment in 12 years. The results of the trials are expected in 2018. It is estimated,that 850 000 people in the UK have Alzheimer's. Several years ago 1000 doctors and nurses were asked what illness they feared the most.Almost all of them said Alzheimer's. Once it gets hold of one's brain the grip becomes more and more relentless with each passing minute,until it sucks all life out of it.The pain of watching someone you love become a living dead is unbearable.
