CHICAGO — Results from a large government experiment are dimming hopes that two common painkillers can prevent Alz heimer’s disease or slow mental decline in older people.
The arthritis drug Celebrex and the over-the-counter painkiller Aleve showed no benefit on thinking skills, new findings show. Earlier results showed the drugs didn’t prevent Alzheimer’s, at least in the short term.
The findings were posted online Monday and will be in July’s Archives of Neurology.
