Message: <blockquote data-quote="catherinecherub" data-source="post: 582422">There is research going on about multipurpose medications.  ACE inhibitors are being researched to see if they can  help with Alzheimers.Patients who took a certain type of blood pressure medication got measurable relief from worsening Alzheimer's symptoms, too, researchers reported on Thursday.<a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/100917494" target="_blank">http://www.cnbc.com/id/100917494</a>There are people who take Ramipril on this forum.  It was originally used to treat high blood pressure but now it is universally used to protect kidneys in diabetic patients.  It will certainly be classed as a multipurpose medication if the research proves that it does help Alzheimers.Whilst the anti-statin brigade have little time for anything to do with statins, I wonder if they would reconsider it if research could prove that it could help cure or relieve symptoms of life threatening diseases?</blockquote>
