We often hear the term Alzheimer associated with elderly people across the globe.
Sadly there is an increasing alarm of this disease around the world and its only getting worse by day.
This is a condition related to dementia where a patient suffering from this illness has great difficulty in remembering things and performing everyday activities and worsens to the extent of recognizing his or her people.
The patient is totally lost and disoriented and unable to help himself to do his daily chores and needs special care and assistance to survive.
If not diagnosed on time the condition worsens leading to disfunction of all the body organs leading to death.
This disease affects the brain cells and slowly deteriorates to an extent where it cannot be reversed.
Many pills available in the market for Alzheimer can be of help only to a certain extent as they cannot stop the progression of this disease but only provide support to the brain cells, the underlying damage to the cells cannot be stopped by these pills and hence cannot be of much help by not being able to prolong the life of the patient.
The deterioration of the cells gets worse and slowly all the functions of the body fail to perform leading to death.
Lately, the US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly has come up with a significant miracle pill called ‘SOLANEZUMAB’ which was tested on many patients suffering from Alzheimer disease and the results were mind-blowing.
Not only did this wonder pill stop the deterioration of further cells but also entirely reversed the progression of illness if taken at the earliest.
Sadly this pill couldn’t be of much help to patients in advanced stages, but truly a saviour to patients diagnosed with Alzheimer in early stages.
The pharmaceutical company is yet to make a public announcement regarding this pill and likely to hold a conference in The US this week and be available for patients worldwide. This good news is a breather for many!!
