Some people speculate is dementia drug infusions.
I did work for about a year during pharm research for Alzheimer’s.
Most of those drugs are infusions.
However. None of them stop or reverse loss.
They just slow it down
And they aren’t even that effective.
Honestly the data I saw… My opinion was. :
-Desperate people are going to pay this $1200 a month infusion cost for literally no benefit and extra risks.
Based on the documents I read, for one of the drugs we were testing (I forget the drug but I recall it’s already used to treat ALS)-
The dosage needed to cause a change in Alzheimer’s would have a serious health risk of brain bleeding.
The dose we were using was like 1/3 of the expected effectiveness dosage.
I thought this was kind of unethical because people signed up to be in the study with the hope of a medicine that would help them. And that’s how it was presented to them.
However. The study was really just trying to see how much brain bleeding occured at 1/3 dose.
With zero expectations for actual effectiveness on slowing down the progress.
I did not like the ethical issues with this line of work.
Anywho I have gotten on a tangent.
The other thing I wanted to say is , if these drugs are to have any effects in slowing (but none stop or reverse , just to be 100% clear on this), then the person MUST start them with early symptoms. What is called “mild cognitive impairment”.
They do nothing if symptoms are already noticeable.
And most people don’t realize they have dementia until it’s already moderate because they mask their symptoms. Or their symptoms are often excuses because “pops/Mom is getting old and that’s normal”.
