Aricept® (donepezil hydrochloride) is a prescription medicine commonly used for treating symptoms of mild, moderate, or severe Alzheimer's disease. It can help slow the decline in memory and learning in people with Alzheimer's by preventing the breakdown of a certain brain chemical that aids in numerous brain functions, including memory, attention, reason, and language. Before your healthcare provider prescribes you Aricept, make sure he or she is aware if you have asthma, low blood pressure, or heart disease.
