The medication is an amyloid beta-directed monoclonal antibody that reduces the plaques that build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. Administered through an infusion through the arm, it is the first drug that actively treats Alzheimer’s and slows progression and the first new treatment approved in 20 years. The UK is set to make its own own ruling on use of the drug in the autumn. The medication has promise, but it is necessary to identify the onset of Alzheimer’s as early as possible so that plaques can be reduced before they cause irreversible damage to brain cells.
