Tractament farmacològic de la malaltia d’Alzheimer: informe del Registre de Tractament Farmacològic de la Malaltia d’Alzheimer a l’any 2024
Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder, usually with a slow but sustained course over time. AD is the most common cause of dementia (69%). Its prevalence is 5.1% and increases exponentially with age, reaching the highest values around 90 years of age. The current treatment for AD is symptomatic. Two pharmacological groups are available: acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs)—donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine—and a non-competitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, memantine.
