Aricep 5 Tablet contains donepezil (5 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Reversible Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase: Donepezil effectively blocks the action of an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down a chemical messenger called acetylcholine in the brain, which is crucial for memory and thinking processes.

• Enhancement of Acetylcholine Concentration: By hindering the activity of acetylcholinesterase, donepezil boosts the level of acetylcholine in the brain. This, in turn, enhances the transmission of messages between nerve cells, which helps to manage symptoms of Alzheimer's dementia such as memory loss and confusion.
