Donep Odt 5 MG Tablet Health Feed

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.

Dear lybrate-user,
80 years old man with memory problems, need to be assessed for dementia. Probably he has been diagnosed already. You can give donep m not to further deteriorate his memory. Quton may control few of his behaviour that is troublesome for others. Of course amlong and thyronorm needs to be continued according to physician who will check his BP and thyroid status periodically.

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.

dear friend; alzil is medication for a condition of memory loss known as dementia. Your mother must be 60 yes or more right? so the list of medications you wrote for this age is too strong plus loss of balance & uncontrolled urination suggests something far more serious than depression. Hence take her to a Psychiatrist As soon as possible as this might be an emergency & for further help; get back to me. good luck

You need to be thoroughly evaluated for cognitive deficits, Has MRI brain been taken. The psychiatrist must have treated you long to arrive at this combination, so discuss with him/ her the problems you have, am sure he/ she will be able to address them as well. Good luck.

Hi lybrate-user, one of the side effects of donepezil is hyponatremia, reduced pulse rate, urinary retention. There are other medications with less of these side effects.

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.

Dear Johan,
It is good that you have accepted your condition and ready to live with it. But your family may find it difficult to accept your memory loss. Living like a zombie and brain fog is due to parkinson and NOT a side effect of Donecept. Please talk to your family members about your walking, talking, remembering, constipation and other behaviour. No need to talk about treatment, allopathy or natural.

Start tab donepezil 5mg once a day in the morning. Dont miss it. Tab etizest 0.5mg for anxiety as and when needed.

Yes there is treatment available. It is called management like for diabetis and high blood pressure. Person have to take medicine for life. There is a b and c symptoms of dementia. A =activity of daily living can be treated with donepezil and admenta medicines. B=behavioral problems can be treated with appropriate drugs, and c = cognitive or intellectual and memory related symptoms, can be slowed down in progress by same drugs.
