Perhaps the most prescribed category of drugs for Alzhimer’s disease are the “Cholinesterase Inhibitor”  branch.  This group and grouping includes four medications.  Their trade names are “Aricept” , “Cognex” , “Excelon”  and “Reminyl”.  This group of medications , specifically the  “Cholinterase Inhibitors”   work via a mechanism of raising brain levels of the chemical neurotransmitter in the brain , acetylcholine , that is deficient in people and patients who exhibit the signs , symptoms and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and its variants.

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.
