Summary

This study tests whether a daily low dose of tadalafil (a drug used for erectile dysfunction) is safe and can help slow memory loss in people with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. About 244 participants will take the drug for one year while researchers monitor side effects and changes in thinking skills. The goal is to see if this existing medication can improve blood flow in the brain and protect against further decline.
