Aricept Tablets, 10mg Tablet

Terminating treatment, especially abruptly, is not without consequences for the patient. It has been reported that intense hallucinations can occur after sudden donepezil withdrawal. One published study has suggested that discontinuation of treatment with donepezil may bring withdrawal symptoms. Aricept is thought to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine. This can increase the communication between remaining healthy nerve cells in the brain, and provide a temporary reprieve from dementia linked to alzheimer's by improving cognition and function. The generic is considered to be as safe and effective as the original drug. Generics tend to cost less than brand-name drugs. Donepezil is an agent with a simple once-daily dosage schedule which improves cognition and global clinical function in the short and long term in patients with mild to moderate alzheimer's disease.
