Fox News: Alzheimer's disease could be prevented by antiviral drug already on market
Alzheimer's disease could be prevented by antiviral drug already on market
Research from UVA Health suggests that NRTIs, drugs used to treat HIV, may also reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by about 10% annually for each year of use. The study analyzed health data from 270,000 patients and could lead to clinical trials for Alzheimer’s prevention.

The findings indicate that repurposing existing drugs like NRTIs could significantly impact Alzheimer's rates, potentially preventing up to one million cases globally each year. However, researchers caution that NRTIs should only be taken for this purpose in clinical trial settings.
