We will be contacting our doctor next week to find out if this new drug is available yet. I'll let you know how we get on.

Hope you get the opportunity to use it! Looks like a very positive step in holding off Altzeimers. Hope it helps the other diseases affected by tau buildup!

Will watch this with keen interest!

Thanks for sharing. LMTX is an experimental drug, not available on the open market.

So assumedly there is no chance of getting it from one's GP or on the NHS (UK)? Richard

Right, an MD cannot prescribe this medication.
