Hello all, I am wondering if there are any medications, therapies, etc that can help slow down the progression of Alzheimer's pls. My aunt is 59 and was diagnosed last week in the Netherlands and I am wondering perhaps there are medications that hasn't been approved here in the UK yet maybe in use in America or other places.

I don't know but 59 is awfully young. I really feel for you and your family.

Hopefully someone will be along soon who has some information Flowers

Memantine is prescribed here for early Alzheimer’s. I am so sorry, 59 is very young.
