Your mother was diagnosed as Alzheimer's. Since her score is 20/30 (probably on MMSE), it must be mild dementia.
It is unfortunate that she is unable to tolerate Donep (Donepezil). i hope it is a 5 mg tablet to start with.
Since she does not have any other health problem, her life expectancy must be - many more years.
Alzheimer's is a progressive disorder. Slowly she will become more and more forgetful and may have behavioural problems too. Donepezil will arrest the disorder from pro...more

Yes. Nausea and vomiting can be side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors and donepezil (donetaz) is one of the cholinesterase inhibitors. It would be advisable to start at a lower dose which is available as Donepezil 5 mg tablet. There are other alternatives too. Please discuss with your doctor who prescribed it or you contact me for further advise.

Diarrhoea is described. Parkinsonism itself can cause rest tremor. Moreover,in ipd, onset of dementia is usually late. So alzil need to be continued only if there is significant cognitive decline. More information from your side is needed.

Dear Lybrate user,
Sorry to hear that your grandmother is dementing. Alzil 5 mg will be increased to 20 mg slowly over next 6-9 months. It will stop her from dementing further. It will not improve her symptoms and make her alright like last year. Qutan is not a drug for dementia. But her behaviour that disturbs you people, will be under control with Qutan.

It's important to know for what reason the medicine has been prescribed. It's mostly used for Alzheimer's disease. So, consult with the treating physician, this kind of side effects usually happen but continuation of drug is also important.

This is for My father of Age 75 ,weight 43 kg and height 177 cm. He is under treatment for dementia related issues as described below. We are consulting with Neurologist and he was taking the tablet Donep of 10 mg for the last one year. Now he added one more medicine since there is no improvement and stills showing more angry and aggressive behavior. The medicine name is QUETIAPINE 25 mg. One tablet night after food When am browsing in internet it is not approved to older people with dementia related issues. It may cause serious issues. Is that correct? Or shall we continue with the medicine? New prescriptions cilacar 10 morning one Telma h 40 morning one Donamem 10 night one quetiapine 25 night one Atorfit cv 10 night one 1) He is having serious memory issue 2) He is not getting words while talking 3) He is able to read, write, Identify all the friends but always angry with everyone most of the time 4) some day he is very silent and normal 5) Most of the time he is getting he want to go from home, no answer where he want go, but someday he used to go to some of his friends home. Some days to temples. May be frequently 6) Some days he will bath/ brush two or three times. If we are reminding this he will get angry and will try to go out of home As per Neurologist it is because of one silent brain attack and dementia He is a retired Mathematics teacher, and this symptoms started some 4 year back. Now some days he is very violent because of the above reason Waiting for your feedback.

Der Dileep,
Sorry to hear your father, Maths teacher, has dementia.
The behavioral problems are not tolerated by the family members. If you start attending the family members' group, you will understand why your father gets angry and leaves home. If the family understands his present level of memory and accepts it as such, behaviour of your father will change. If you people point out accusingly or treat him as though he does it purposely, it will worsen.
Donepezil is helpful in reduc...more

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disease in which brain tissue shrink and degenerate with time and it is not treatable. Only during initial few years some symptomatic treatment may be helpful. Urine problem usually occurs gradually towards late stage of disease. It is difficult to treat. You may take terol la for some symptomatic releif of urine problem. Better take help of your neurologist.
