Donepezil is used to ease the symptoms of dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, such as memory loss.
Donepezil cannot cure dementia, but it can slow down the progression of the symptoms in some people. It works by increasing the level of a natural chemical called acetylcholine. This is a chemical which allows nerve cells in the brain to communicate with each other, and it is known that people with dementia have low levels of it.
Donepezil will be prescribed by a doctor who is a specialist. If you are a caregiver, please read this leaflet on behalf of the person who is receiving donepezil.:Donepezil hydrochloride specifications available on request, FORM I & III available.
Donepezil Hydrochloride was the first piperidine-type reversible cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor to receive approval by the FDA. Donepezil Hydrochloride is approved for the symptomatic management of mild to severe Alzheimer's disease.
