"Viagra's Potential in Preventing Alzheimer's Disease Progression"
TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that sildenafil (Viagra) may reduce the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by 30%-54%, based on real-world patient data and mechanistic studies. The research, led by Feixiong Cheng, PhD, director of the Cleveland Clinic Genome Center, indicates that sildenafil could potentially be repurposed as a treatment for AD, supported by its ability to decrease neurotoxic protein levels in brain cells. The findings provide evidence for further clinical trials to examine the effectiveness of sildenafil in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
