[|Human|] My dad has been becoming more forgetful recently and has a family history of Alzheimer s Disease with a sister who had advanced stages when she died. I ve been researching Axona and was curious if it would have any effect on someone without a diagnosis of Alzheimer s or if it could even be prescribed in his case.
[|AI|]  None of the medications we use for Alzheimer's is preventative.  They were not researched in that way nor are they indicated for prophylactic use. Axon is actually a medical food supplement and should not be used in people with metabolic issues such as diabetes as it can cause ethnic shock and coma in extreme cases. I would not recommend the use of Axon in anybody without a diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia and only under the direction of an experienced physician due to its side effects which in some cases can be severe enough for people to go the ER.  Good luck.
