Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, degenerative brain disorder that slowly destroys memory, thinking, and behavior. Over time, symptoms progress and eventually interfere with the ability to perform daily tasks. More than 6 million people are currently living with Alzheimer's disease in the US. It is estimated that by 2050 the number of people with Alzheimer's disease could increase to nearly 13 million.

"Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, impacting an individual's ability to function independently, said Mike Fieri, Orsini Founder and CEO. This disease directly impacted my family, and I am grateful for Orsini to be a select specialty pharmacy to participate in this transformative treatment for people living with Alzheimer's. At Orsini Specialty Pharmacy, we put empathy and caring at the forefront of our therapy care plans. The entire team looks forward to supporting the needs of these patients and their caregivers."
