A study on Alzheimer's disease to be conducted in Puerto Rico is recruiting volunteers. The Amaranth study will test a drug that attacks Alzheimer's disease in its early phase by avoiding the formation of the amyloid plaques that deposit in the brain and cause neuron damage.

For more information, please call (787) 758-2525, ext. 1988 or email amaranthrcm@gmail.com.
