Ibuprofen could prevent Alzheimer’s disease, scientists claim.
At-risk patients, discovered via a saliva test, may be able to avoid dementia if they take a low-dose of the painkiller from middle age for the rest of their lives, they add.
Ibuprofen is thought to dampen inflammation in the brain, which leads to the death of nerve cells and is associated with Alzheimer’s. Continue reading “Ibuprofen could ‘eliminate’ Alzheimer’s disease”
