New Hope
Prescription drugs for arthritis and erectile dysfunction could one day lead the way to new
treatments for cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers discovered that medication for erectile dysfunction combined with a
dirivative of an anti-inflamitory prescription pain medication can cause an interaction that
weakens a protein common to cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and some viral and bacterial
infections. Attacking this protein could potentially slow or stop some of these diseases.
