Brain Bleeds and Blood Thinners in Alzheimer's Disease

There is longstanding concern about this type of drug being used with any kind of blood thinner that have been associated with very bad brain bleeds. So we're waiting to see if the makers of this drug, lacanumab, are going to be suggesting to regulators that it shouldn't be given to people who are on blood thinners or who might be prescribed blood thinners in the case of a stroke. And it kind of creates a terrible dilemma for some patients. We don't know what precautions could be taken and what warnings could be given.
