There ’ s Finally a Fully Approved Alzheimer ’ s Drug —But Getting It Won ’ t Be Easy
It’s a decision that millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and their families have been waiting for—the first fully approved drug that treats the disease, rather than its symptoms. On July 6, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval for lecanemab, or Leqembi, to treat Alzheimer’s in people in the early, mild stages of the neurodegenerative condition.
Doctors can already prescribe lecanemab, which is made by Eisai Inc. and Biogen, since it has been available under accelerated approval from the FDA since January, but that conditional approval has limited access. T...

A New Genetic Test Could Determine Which Weight Loss Drug Will Actually Work For You
As popular as the latest drugs being touted for weight loss, including Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy, are on social media, like any medications, they don’t work in the same way for everyone. Not all are even approved to treat obesity, but are being used off label as a relatively easy way to shed pounds. While some users lose up to 20% or more of their body weight on these drugs, others struggle to shed single digit percentages.
That shouldn’t come as a surprise, since obesity isn’t a monolith and the factors that contribute to extra pounds are different for different people. In the same way that cancer do...
