Before Treatment
What to Expect With Disease-Modifying Therapy
Before a disease-modifying Alzheimer’s treatment is considered, the healthcare team generally confirms that the person is in an appropriate stage of disease, reviews testing that supports Alzheimer’s pathology, evaluates medical history and medications, and discusses the benefits, risks, monitoring requirements, and treatment schedule.
MRI monitoring and other safety steps may be required. The exact process depends on the medication and the individual patient.
