Composition

Donepezil (5 Mg)

Donjil 5 Tablet 10 contains Donepezil, used to treat symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. It works by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain, improving memory and cognitive function.

In addition to this primary use, this medicine might help improve memory, awareness, and the ability to perform daily tasks. This improvement doesn't cure Alzheimer's disease but can make daily life more manageable for those affected.

This medicine should be taken orally as advised by your doctor. It's vital to let your doctor know about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines before you start taking this medication. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, inform your doctor straight away. For the best results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Donjil 5 Tablet 10 contains donepezil (5 mg), which works in the body as follows:

Enhanced Neurotransmission: By blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, the level and duration of action of acetylcholine in the brain are effectively increased. This enhancement improves neurotransmission, thereby managing symptoms associated with Alzheimer's dementia.
