FDA Approves Leqembi, Extending Alzheimer’s Treatment to More Patients
Medicare enrollees can get the anti-amyloid treatment as a result of the agency’s full approval.
Thank you for posting this! Sadly, it wouldn't work for us as Beloved Dementor's various health providers twaddled around and refused to consider Alzheimer's for too long. But it is good news (albeit with some risks) for those in early stages.
That is so shitty. Those are also some serious risks to consider, though. I don't know if I'd do it if I were a person with early Alzheimer's.
That really sucks. Hopefully there will eventually be something to help in a useful time frame.
Ah, wonderful. I gave up when I hit the paywall and found other news stories (as it's headline stuff). This is a pretty info-rich article, though.
