Aricept

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Aricept (Donepezil), is a centrally acting reversible acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor. Its main therapeutic use is in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease where it is used to increase cortical acetylcholine. Donepezil is postulated to exert its therapeutic effect by enhancing cholinergic function. This is accomplished by increasing the concentration of acetylcholine through reversible inhibition of its hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase. If this proposed mechanism of action is correct, donepezil’s effect may lessen as the disease process advances and fewer cholinergic neurons remain functionally intact.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors – Their Use and Withdrawl of Treatment

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

The cholinteresterase inhibitors thus far available  are currently only approved by the F.D.A.

One large study evaluated the use of Aricept (dozepezil) in the treatment of mild cognitive  impairment and found that it significantly reduced conversion to active Alzheimer’s progressive disease.

While cholinesterase inhibitors are now believed to he most helpful in persons with severe Alzheimer’s disease ,sometimes patients can be maintained on these classes and classifications of drugs indefinitely due to the fact and observation that in clinical practice , that often patients who stop taking these drugs or types of medications deteriorate rapidly when the drugs are arbitrarily stopped or withdrawn.  Indeed there is new and upcoming evidence from studies that suggest that stopping cholinesterase inhibitors will result in decline in functioning to a level that the patient would have been at it they – he or she – had not been taking the drug in the first place.

In addition drugs in this class appear to have an added benefit in improving behaviour as well as overall cognitive abilities.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Perhaps the most prescribed category of drugs for Alzhimer’s disease are the “Cholinesterase Inhibitor”  branch.  This group and grouping includes four medications.  Their trade names are “Aricept” , “Cognex” , “Excelon”  and “Reminyl”.  This group of medications , specifically the  “Cholinterase Inhibitors”   work via a mechanism of raising brain levels of the chemical neurotransmitter in the brain , acetylcholine , that is deficient in people and patients who exhibit the signs , symptoms and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and its variants.

It can be said that overall these drugs , and this classification of medications , work to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

In terms of side effects , and the range and variations of side effects with the Cholinesterase classification of drugs  side effects are all pretty similar in their type and range.  This generally includes , nausea , vomiting ,diarrhea , stomach pain, and loss of appetite.  However care must be exhibited with the drug / medication Cognex which can work to effect and cause liver toxicity and toxicities.
