The over-the-counter drug reduces inflammation in the brain, caused by a build up of rogue proteins that lead to memory loss and confusion.
If started early enough, a daily pill could reduce the chance of dementia in those most at risk.
Scientists said a simple saliva test could be used to find those people who could benefit.
They would then be put on a regular low dose of the painkiller for the rest of their lives.

Scientists say this discovery could lead to the development of drugs that could alleviate some of the long-term effects of the disease, the world’s leading cause of dementia.

The enzyme is a promising target for developing medications to prevent cognitive decline. The study was recently published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia: Translational Research and Clinical Interventions.
