  Hi liverpooljosh,
  My honest answer is I’m not sure. There are no drugs available to cure Alzheimers but there are some around that once someone is diagnosed (told they have it at the early stages) the drugs can slow the progress of the disease so you don’t get too bad too quickly. I guess in someways they do delay the disease but you wouldnt really treat someone with a drug before they’ve got the disease so I don’t think there are any that have been shown to delay onset. hope that answers your question
