These High Blood Pressure Drugs May Protect Against Parkinson’s, Dementia, Huntington’s
In several recent studies, scientists have found that common high blood pressure drugs may help protect the brain and prevent chronic brain diseases.
For example, researchers from the University of Cambridge found that a prescribed high blood pressure drug felodipine may help prevent Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. . .
The researchers tested the drug on mice and found that the drug was effective to reduce the risk of Huntington’s and Parkinson’s disease. . .
In another study, researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany shows that several high blood pressure drugs are linked to lower dementia risk.
The drugs include angiotensin II receptor blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, calcium channel blockers, and beta-blockers. (Read more from “These High Blood Pressure Drugs May Protect Against Parkinson’s, Dementia, Huntington’s” HERE)
