Vitamin E, Aricept cocktail may curb Alzheimer's

Patients Taking Mix Scored Better On Mental Exams, According To Report

 

A vitamin cocktail containing Vitamin E and the prescription drug Aricept is showing promise as a therapy to help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

A three-year study shows that combining the prescription drug Aricept with vitamin E can help slow the progression of the disease, according to Alzheimer's researcher Dr. David Beversdorf.
"What we found was that the decline at years 1, 2 and 3 compared to the baseline was significantly less for our group," said Beversdorf.

Patients treated with the prescription combination scored better on mental exams, showing less mental decline than the group that did not get the cocktail, according to the study. Patients were given a minimum of 670 mg of vitamin E combined with a normal dosage of Aricept. Although the study was promising, researchers still have many questions to answer before they know if the combination will benefit every patient.

The research appears in the journal Alzheimer Disease and Associated Disorders. The research was funded by an unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer/Eisai, manufacturers of Aricept, and the National Institutes of Health.

 

In the United States, about 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association. As the baby boom generation ages, the estimated Alzheimer prevalence is 11.3 million to 16 million by the year 2050
