The Alzheimer’s disease treatment Aricept is used to treat Alzheimer’s patients that display mild to moderate symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. It has also been used a treatment for patients with advanced Alzheimer’s disease.
Aricept is not a cure for Alzheimer’s disease but is used as an Alzheimer’s treatment for people with mild, moderate and advanced Alzheimer’s symptoms.
People with Alzheimer’s disease show a progressive degeneration in nerve cells, especially those that make acetylcholine – a chemical thought to be important for both learning and memory. The Alzheimer’s treatment Aricept works principally by reducing the breakdown of acetylcholine, resulting in more of this chemical being present in the brain of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
With such an Alzheimer’s disease treatment, it has been suggested based on research data that Aricept enhances the action of acetylcholine by making receptors more responsive in the brain.
People treated with the Alzheimer’s disease treatment Aricept may take as long as 12 weeks to show signs of responding to the drug treatment.
In recent developments, the FDA approved a generic version of the Alzheimer’s disease treatment Aricept.
