- Description - |
Reminyl can delay or even reverse mental decline in some patientswith mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to work by boosting levels ofthe chemical messengeracetylcholine in the brain. (In Alzheimer's disease, the cells thatproduce acetylcholineslowly deteriorate.)
Reminyl is a temporary remedy. It doesn't work for everyone, andit doesn't halt theunderlying disease. |
