Studies showed ARICEPT slowed the progression of Alzheimer's symptoms.
It improved cognition and slowed the decline of overall function.
ARICEPT may work differently for each person. For those who respond, symptoms may improve,
they may stabilize, or they may progress more slowly than without ARICEPT.
ARICEPT® (donepezil HCl tablets) is indicated for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe dementia of the Alzheimer's type.

serious stomach problems, such as bleeding, may get worse.
Some people who take ARICEPT may experience fainting.
Some people may have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
bruising, or not sleep well. Some people may have muscle cramps or loss of appetite or may feel tired. In studies these were usually mild and temporary.
