Donepezil (Aricept)  is a drug derived from components of actual black pepper.  It is the most widely prescribed drug for patients who have Alzheimer’s disease .  It works by preventing the breakdown of the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain.  The tablet is taken once daily , which helps with regular pill taking  ( compliance).  It seems that for all the studies that have been done in an effort to improve the taking of pills and medications on a regular basis – that is compliance – that lack of compliance is generally estimated at a full 50 %.   The only things that seem to enhance and improve compliance levels with medications are 1) to reduce the frequency of dosage and 2) tie in the pill taking to a regime involving a daily habit — 0ften meals.   To make matters perhaps more amusing and even worse it seems that patients often improve their regular pill taking and compliance of medications when they become more ill and are reminded of their symptoms.  The poor health care providers are often at a loss to explain symptoms and side effects that often and usually were not present before and are the direct result of patients now taking their pills and medications on a regular and proper basis. On top of that multi-drug side effects and interactions may now emerge since the patient may well be finally taking the drugs they had forgot to or had chosen not to take before in their treatment plan and plans.

The Donepezil comes in tablet form.   The typical daily dose id 10 mg. It is generally well tolerated.  Often the dose is started low at 5 mg per a day and then “bumped” up to the 10 mg dose.    Some authorities and practitioners in the field have believed that the drug will only work for a six month time period whereas others have continued treatment with the drug and made substantiated claims that a beneficial effect can be demonstrated in Alzheimer’s patients for several years. Indeed the medication may have  a disease modifying and limited beneficial effect all on its own.

It can be said that overall these drugs , and this classification of medications , work to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

In terms of side effects , and the range and variations of side effects with the Cholinesterase classification of drugs  side effects are all pretty similar in their type and range.  This generally includes , nausea , vomiting ,diarrhea , stomach pain, and loss of appetite.  However care must be exhibited with the drug / medication Cognex which can work to effect and cause liver toxicity and toxicities.
