Could epilepsy drug help treat Alzheimer’s disease?
A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could help “slow down” the progress of Alzheimer’s disease, reports The Daily Express. According to the news story, the drug levetiracetam was shown to “help restore brain function and memory”.
The story is based on a study analysing the short-term effect of the drug in 54 people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This is where people have problems with their memory and are at an increased risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
