Product Overview

Aricept D Tablets 10mg is the high-strength version of this Japanese-manufactured medication, intended for patients with more advanced symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or Lewy body dementia. Each orally disintegrating tablet provides 10 mg of donepezil hydrochloride to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain. By inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, donepezil helps improve memory and cognitive function in dementia patients. This 10 mg dose is typically introduced only after a patient has stabilized on the 5 mg dose for at least several weeks. As an ODT formulation, Aricept D 10mg dissolves on the tongue for easy administration without water. Manufactured in Japan by Eisai Co., Ltd., it meets strict quality standards and ensures a high-quality treatment option.

Dosage Guidelines

Use Aricept D 10mg strictly as directed by your physician. This highest dose is not used at the start of therapy – treatment begins at 3 mg daily, then increases to 5 mg daily before considering 10 mg. The 10 mg dose may be prescribed after at least 4 weeks of stability on 5 mg, for patients who need additional symptom control. 10 mg once daily is the maximum recommended dose of Aricept. Your doctor will carefully monitor for side effects when increasing to 10 mg. As with other Aricept D tablets, place the 10 mg tablet on the tongue and allow it to dissolve; it can be taken with or without water. Do not adjust the dosage or discontinue treatment unless instructed by your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

At the 10 mg dose, donepezil’s side effect profile is similar, though some effects may be more pronounced. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and other digestive issues. Patients might also experience insomnia, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, or irritability/agitation. Most side effects are mild and manageable; however, if you experience persistent or severe symptoms, inform your doctor. Rare but serious side effects (such as severe bradycardia, fainting, stomach ulcers or bleeding) can occur, so 10 mg therapy should always be supervised by a physician. Seek immediate medical attention for alarming symptoms like fainting or gastrointestinal bleeding.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible on the same day. If it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal schedule. Do not double up doses to make up for the one you missed.

Q: How should I store this medication?
A: Store Aricept D 10mg at room temperature, away from high humidity and direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original packaging (blister pack) until use, and out of the reach of children.

Q: Is it safe to take this medicine long-term?
A: Yes. Aricept’s effectiveness and safety have been studied for long-term use. No increase in adverse effects has been observed over extended use of donepezil, and no new safety concerns have emerged with long-term therapy. Doctors will periodically assess whether the medication is still benefiting you, but as long as it continues to be effective and well-tolerated, taking Aricept (even at 10 mg) for the long term is considered safe under medical supervision.
