London (PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- PharmaPoint: Alzheimer’s Disease - France Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022
Summary
GlobalData has released its new Country report, “PharmaPoint: Alzheimer’s Disease - France Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022”. There are no long-term effective therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), so this remains at the top of the list for unmet needs. While physicians agree that symptomatic therapies are relatively safe and effective, these therapies are still lacking because of they cannot maintain their effects and lack mechanisms that alter the course of the disease.
France has established specialized AD facilities that have made diagnosis much easier in the rural areas of the country. Moreover, accessibility to affordable medications in France is among the highest of the EU countries. However, there is an widespread notion among family physicians in the EU that referral of an AD patient to specialists is sometimes not in the best interest of their patient, which prevents patients from proceeding along the usual pathway to the most effective management.
