Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowOld Drugs, New Hope for Alzheimer’s?Imagine if meds already sitting in your bathroom cabinet could help fight Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. That’s the big idea behind a new project: scientists are fast-tracking existing drugs to see if they can treat these brain diseases, potentially shaving up to 10 years off the wait for new treatments. With the NHS holding back on pricey new drugs, charities are teaming up to find hidden gems among meds we already trust. Could weight loss jabs or diabetes pills be the next breakthrough? Stay tuned! #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #DrugRepurposing #Health #BodyHealth140Share
wilsonjames+FollowOld Drugs, New Hope for Brain Health?Get this: scientists are teaming up to see if meds we already have could help treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—meaning new treatments could reach patients way faster. Since some pricey new drugs didn’t make the NHS cut, experts are now eyeing existing meds (like weight loss jabs!) that might target both diseases. If this works, it could shave years off the wait for better therapies. Fingers crossed for some game-changing results soon! #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #DrugRepurposing #Health #BodyHealth110Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowBlood Pressure Med for ADHD? Wild!Turns out, a common blood pressure pill (amlodipine) might actually help with ADHD symptoms like hyperactivity and impulsivity! Researchers found it worked in animal models and even showed promise in people with certain genetic traits. The best part? It’s already safe, cheap, and non-stimulant—unlike most ADHD meds. It’s not approved for ADHD yet, but clinical trials are coming. Imagine if your heart med could double as brain support! #ADHD #HealthNews #DrugRepurposing #ScienceUpdate #Health3511Share
