Aricept, a drug used in treating Alzheimer's disease, might improve memory and mental function in some people with multiple sclerosis, according to a new study.
Aricept patients had greater improvements in memory testing than the placebo group. Memory test scores for the Aricept group improved almost 14% from their initial scores. The placebo group improved less than 3% on their memory test scores.
In addition, 66% of the Aricept group reportedly said their memory had gotten better, compared with only 32% of the placebo group.
