Aricept Rapid Dissolve Description

For treating the symptoms of mild, moderate, or advanced Alzheimer’s disease, ask your doctor about Aricept Rapid Dissolve, an anti-cholinesterase drug that can help improve memory loss, cognitive impairment, and personality changes. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but Aricept Rapid Dissolve can help you or the family member experiencing AD function better in everyday situations.

The earlier you are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease; the sooner treatment can be started to slow the progression of the disease. Aricept Rapid Dissolve or generic Donepezil will not reverse or repair any symptoms that have already appeared. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

How Does Aricept Rapid Dissolve Work?

Aricept Rapid Dissolve is simply placed on the tongue where it melts, then followed with a glass of water. The active ingredient of Aricept Rapid Dissolve is called Donepezil and once it is absorbed into your blood stream, it inhibits the cholinesterase enzyme that is responsible for breaking down an important neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine.

This neurotransmitter plays a role in your memory, learning, reward system, and helps to maintain focus. By interfering with the action of cholinesterase, Aricept Rapid Dissolve is able to keep more acetylcholine available in your brain to help with your memory and learning, maintain your focus, and your brain is able to form new connections.

Is it Alzheimer’s or Age-Related Forgetfulness?

The most common cause of dementia is the progressive degeneration of nerve cells that occurs with Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia is a term used to represent the symptoms of memory loss, issues with language, and difficulties with thinking or problem solving. As we age we can become forgetful and lose track of what day it is, where you put the house keys, miss a monthly payment, or get mixed up with even the names of your own children or grandchildren and joke about having old-timer’s disease. These are typical age-related events that we correct and laugh about. If you find you, or a family member is unable to retrace their steps to find things that were misplaced, holding a conversation is hard to do, or there is repeated poor decision making, make time to see a doctor.

Before Aricept Rapid Dissolve is Prescribed to You

Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any current OTC or Rx drugs you use or take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. This will help to determine if Aricept Rapid Dissolve can be a benefit to you or your family member.
