ARICEPT
	Aricept
	Pronounced: AIR-ih-sept  Generic name: Donepezil hydrochloride  Aricept is used to provide some relief from the symptoms of early Alzheimer's disease. (Cognex, Exelon, and Reminyl are others.) Alzheimer's disease causes physical changes in the brain that disrupt the flow of information and interfere with memory, thinking, and behaviour. Aricept can temporarily improve brain function in some Alzheimer's sufferers, although it does not halt the progress of the underlying disease.  ADULTS The usual starting dose is 5 milligrams once a day at bedtime for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Do not increase the dose during this period unless directed. The doctor may then increase the dosage to 10 milligrams once a day if necessary CHILDREN The safety and effectiveness of Aricept have not been established in children.
