My understanding is that there are two new drugs that reduce amyloid plaque in the brain that may slow down the progression of Alzheimers. They are Kisunla and Leqembe and are given by infusion. Kisunla is given once a month for 18 months. Leqembe every 2 weeks. They have only been on the market for one year and are definitely not a cure. Scary but my husband and family want to take the chance that it will help. Lots of unknowns and potential bad side effects such as brain bleeds so 5 MRI’s in the first 6 months.
