⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Donepezil Hydrochloride works on the brain by blocking an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, whose normal job is to break down a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. The medicine attaches to this enzyme and switches it off for a while, so acetylcholine is not broken down as quickly. This allows acetylcholine levels to build up at the nerve junctions in the brain, helping nerve cells communicate more effectively.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy: There isn't enough well-controlled research on Donepezil's use in pregnant women. It should only be used during pregnancy if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the unborn baby.
Breastfeeding: It is not known whether Donepezil Hydrochloride passes into human breast milk. It is not recommended for use in breastfeeding mothers.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
