Medical science has rushed to the rescue of those people who fall in to trouble forgetting important birthdays and anniversaries. The all new 'memory pill' is here to help you with exam revisions and memory loss.

These new pills will be ready for public use very soon in UK and is designed to treat the patients with age-related problems. However it was initially meant to deal with Alzheimer's disease, but now a milder version of the 'memory pill' will soon hit the shelves.

The multinational company AstraZeneca in collaboration with Targacept, an American company is currently working on a particular kind of the pill, while Epix Pharmaceuticals, also from the US is working on another type.

The 'weaker-version' of the pill will be available on the counter for healthy consumers as a 'lifestyle' pill, as predicted by Steven Ferris, a neurologist and former committee member of the Food and Drug Administration in the US.

"My view is that one could gain approval, provided you showed the drugs to be effective and safe. It could be a huge market," The Telegraph quoted Ferris as saying. AGENCIES
