Product Description
Donep-5 Tablet, manufactured by Alkem Pharma, contains Donepezil Hydrochloride 5mg, a cholinesterase inhibitor. It is prescribed for patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia.
Donep-5 works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for memory and learning, improving communication between nerve cells. This helps manage symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and difficulty performing daily activities.
While it does not cure Alzheimer’s disease, Donep-5 Tablet helps slow down symptom progression and enhances quality of life for patients.
