Donep Syrup is used to manage symptoms of mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. It belongs to a class of medications known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, which help improve cognitive function in people with Alzheimer's disease.
In addition to managing Alzheimer's dementia, this medicine may sometimes be used off-label to manage other forms of dementia, such as vascular dementia or Parkinson's disease dementia. However, its effectiveness for these additional uses is less well-established than for Alzheimer's dementia.
This medicine should be taken orally as directed by your doctor, typically once daily in the evening before bedtime.
