Aduhelm is the brand name for aducanumab and is available as an intravenous infusion.

Aduhelm is an amyloid beta-directed antibody indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Aduhelm is anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody. It specifically targets a protein in the brain called beta-amyloid. In Alzheimer’s disease, these proteins clump together to form plaques. Aduhelm lowers the amount of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. This suggests, but doesn’t show, Aduhelm (aducanumab) can help slow Alzheimer’s from getting worse. More studies are needed to confirm whether or not fewer plaques actually means slower disease progression.

Titration is required for treatment initiation of Aduhelm. The recommended maintenance dosage is 10 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion over approximately one hour every four weeks.
