NICE Final Appraisal Determination
January 1, 2011 The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recently recommended that general practitioners in England and Wales provide treatment for patients with mild Alzheimers disease; previously, NICE limited treatment to patients with moderate or severe impairment due to Alzheimers.

The new recommendation will permit individuals with mild cognitive impairment to obtain medications to reduce the symptoms. NICE guidelines recommended donepezil, galantamine, revastigmine, and memantine. Download the Report . . .
