How Aricep 10 Tablet works
Aricep 10 Tablet contains Donepezil, which is a cholinesterase inhibitor. In Alzheimer’s disease, levels of a key neurotransmitter called acetylcholine are significantly reduced. This chemical is essential for memory formation, learning, and other brain functions. Aricep works by inhibiting the enzyme (acetylcholinesterase) that breaks down acetylcholine, allowing higher levels of this chemical to remain active in the brain. This improves communication between nerve cells, helping to reduce memory loss and confusion. Although it doesn’t cure Alzheimer’s, it can temporarily improve symptoms and delay their worsening in some individuals. Regular use, as directed by a doctor, is important to achieve the maximum benefit.
