There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease and no treatment that will stop its progression. Several drugs are available that can help with some symptoms. Non-pharmacological treatments may also benefit people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Consult Your Health-care Professional
Ask your doctor or qualified health-care professional these questions about any treatment or product you are considering, including natural health products:
- What are the potential benefits or results of taking this product?
- Is this the best product or approach to achieve those results or are there better alternatives?
- What is the evidence that supports the safety and effectiveness of this product?
- What are the risks associated with taking this product?
Stay in touch with your health-care professional to ensure that the best treatment options are being considered, to discuss side-effects and other issues, and to ensure that the treatment is effective and appropriate for you or the person you are caring for.
