Alzheimer
Introduction
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible, age-related neurodegenerative disorder defined by a gradual decline in understanding, memory, and ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). It is the most prevalent type of dementia, accounting for 60% to 80% of all cases.[1] Although no medications are available that can reverse the progress of AD, a number of drugs have limited utility in treating cognitive symptoms.
