About Alzil 10 Tablet

Alzil 10 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'anti-Alzheimer's drug', primarily indicated in the treatment of dementia of the Alzheimer’s disease. In Alzheimer's disease, the brain cells degenerate and die, which causes a gradual decline in behavioural and social skills and thinking ability (dementia), which affects a person's ability to function independently. The signs include confusion, increasing memory loss, and behavioural changes.

Alzil 10 Tablet contains Donepezil that falls in the category of drugs called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. This drug increases the levels of a substance (acetylcholine) in the brain, which is involved in improving memory functioning by slowing down the breakdown of acetylcholine (a substance that allows nerves to communicate and important for normal brain functioning).

Take Alzil 10 Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Alzil 10 Tablet based on your medical condition. A person taking Alzil 10 Tablet may experience some undesirable effects of this medicine like insomnia, diarrhoea, muscle cramps, vomiting, fatigue, weight loss, and nausea. This happens because the body is adjusting to the new medicine. If a person notices severe side effects of medicine like dizziness, constipation, drowsiness, fainting, frequent urination, headache, joint pain, mental depression, and pain, or if side effects do not go within a couple of days, then they need to consult with the doctor immediately.
