SCIENTISTS have developed a new drug that could protect against damage to brain cells which are ravaged by Alzheimer’s disease.

The breakthrough could mean a treatment is just a few years away from being available to patients.

I’m now optimistic NitroMemantine will be effective as we advance to human trials, bringing new hope to both early and later-stage Alzheimer’s patients

Dr Stuart Lipton

NitroMemantine combines two medicines to stop changes in the brain that lead to memory loss and cognitive decline.
