AriceptThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Aricept but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Aricept (when available) Donepezil is a parasympathomimetic, specifically, a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor. Donepezil is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type. Donepezil is postulated to exert its therapeutic effect by enhancing cholinergic function. This is accomplished by increasing the concentration of acetylcholine through reversible inhibition of its hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase. If this proposed mechanism of action is correct, Donepezil's effect may lessen as the disease process advances and fewer cholinergic neurons remain functionally intact. There is no evidence that Donepezil alters the course of the underlying dementing process. For management of symptoms associated with Alzheimer's Disease Mechanism Of Action: Donepezil's proposed mechanism of action involves the increase of the concentration of acetylcholine through reversible inhibition of its hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase.
