Aricept is used for:

Treating dementia (eg, impairment of memory, judgment, and abstract thinking; changes in personality) in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer disease.

Aricept is a cholinesterase inhibitor. It works by increasing the amount of a certain substance (acetylcholine) in the brain, which may help reduce the symptoms of dementia in patients with Alzheimer disease.

Do NOT use Aricept if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Aricept or to another piperidine derivative

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
