METHOD FOR INHIBITING LOSS OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS EMPLOYING A CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH AN ACE INHIBITOR

摘要

A method is provided for inhibiting loss of cognitive function, including memory, which may or may not be associated with Alzheimer's disease, in a mammalian species by administering a benzazepine-type calcium channel blocker such as diltiazem, SQ 31,765 or SQ 32,324 alone or in combination with an ACE inhibitor, such as captopril or SQ 29,852, over a prolonged period of treatment.
