Donepezil

Donepezil is a medication used to help improve symptoms related to Alzheimer's disease, a condition affecting memory and thinking skills. It works by increasing the levels of a chemical in the brain called acetylcholine, which is important for communication between nerve cells. By boosting this chemical, donepezil can help improve or stabilize memory and thinking abilities for some people with Alzheimer's. However, it does not cure the disease or stop its progression. It is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan managed by a healthcare provider.
