Description
Donep 5 mg is useful for people with mild, moderate, or severe dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It improves people’s ability to remember, communicate, think clearly and perform the activities of daily living. Alzheimer’s is a progressive illness that gradually affects memory and thinking. It does not cure the condition but may help improve memory, awareness, and other associated symptoms. The active ingredient of the medicine is Donepezil hydrochloride, which falls into the category of drugs known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
