Aricept is used to provide some relief from the symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease. (Cognex Exelon and Reminyl are others.) Alzheimer’s disease causes physical changes in the brain that disrupt the flow of information and interfere with memory thinking and behaviour. Aricept can temporarily improve brain function in some Alzheimer’s sufferers although it does not halt the progress of the underlying disease.
