About
Donep 5 Tablet contains Donepezil Hydrochloride, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, primarily used for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Donepezil works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory, learning, and cognitive function. In Alzheimer's disease, there is a significant reduction in acetylcholine, leading to cognitive decline.
By inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, Donepezil prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, thereby making more of it available in the brain. This action helps to improve memory, thinking, reasoning, and the ability to perform daily activities in affected individuals. It does not cure Alzheimer's disease but helps to manage its symptoms and slow down the progression of cognitive impairment, offering a better quality of life for patients.
