True or False: The medications that are currently approved by the FDA treat Alzheimer's disease but do not cure it.TrueFalse

The statement is True.

Currently, the medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease are aimed at alleviating symptoms and may help slow the progression of the disease to some extent, but they do not cure it. The primary medications in use include cholinesterase inhibitors (like donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine) and memantine, which help with cognitive function and memory but do not address the underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease. Research continues in search of actual curative treatments, but none exist at this time. Therefore, the medications serve as management tools rather than cures.
