Product Description

Donep Syrup, manufactured by Alkem Pharma, is prescribed for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia. It contains Donepezil Hydrochloride, a cholinesterase inhibitor that increases the levels of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) in the brain. This helps improve nerve signal transmission, thereby enhancing memory, concentration, and the ability to carry out daily activities.

It does not cure Alzheimer’s disease but helps slow the progression of symptoms and improves the patient’s quality of life. Donep Syrup is suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
