Neuroscientists say daily ibuprofen can prevent Alzheimer's disease -- ScienceDaily

A Vancouver-based research team led by Canada's most cited
neuroscientist, Dr. Patrick McGeer, has successfully carried out studies
suggesting that, if started early enough, a daily regimen of the
non-prescription NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) ibuprofen
can prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This means that by taking
an over-the-counter medication, people can ward off a disease that,
according to Alzheimer's Disease International's World Alzheimer Report
2016, affects an estimated 47 million people worldwide, costs health
care systems worldwide more than US$818 billion per year and is the
fifth leading cause of death in those aged 65 or older.
