Available Treatment Options for Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
A different type of treatment is available
Anti-amyloid therapies treat a potential underlying cause of memory and thinking issues due to early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease
The availability of different treatment options could potentially change what is possible for people with memory and thinking issues due to early symptomatic AD
You can discuss the following options with your doctor:
Anti-amyloid treatments
These treatments work differently as they may reduce amyloid plaque buildup in the brain, which is thought to be associated with early symptomatic AD.
Medicines that may manage symptoms
These medicines may help with memory and thinking issues by relieving some of the symptoms that may be caused by AD.
If you have received a positive P-tau217 blood test, PET, or CSF test for amyloid and your doctor has diagnosed you with AD, here are some questions to help guide you conversation with your doctor:
- What treatments are available?
- How do anti-amyloid treatments work if I'm diagnosed with early symptomatic AD?
- What are the possible side effects of treatment?
