Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research studies have indicated that regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen may lower the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by reducing inflammation in the brain which is associated with the disease. Aspirin and codeine belong to the class of drugs called analgesics and are not considered as effective as ibuprofen in reducing Alzheimer's disease risk. Valium is a benzodiazepine that is used to treat anxiety and is not associated with reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
