Once-A-Day Aricept® (donepezil HCl)

Studies showed ARICEPT slowed the progression of Alzheimer's symptoms. It improved cognition and slowed the decline of overall function.

ARICEPT may work differently for each person. For those who respond, symptoms may improve, they may stabilize, or they may progress more slowly than without ARICEPT.

Could it be Alzheimer's?

If you're concerned, it's important to talk to your doctor about diagnosis and treatment options.

Alzheimer's disease develops slowly over time. The symptoms begin to appear so gradually that it is often mistaken for normal aging. Learn more about the Alzheimer's diagnosis, treatment options, and how to recognize the symptoms.
