Aricep 5 Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive condition that gradually impairs memory and cognitive function. While it does not cure the disease, it may help improve memory, awareness, and other symptoms.

Your doctor will provide guidance on how to take Aricep 5 Tablet, typically recommending it with food, preferably at night before bedtime. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage carefully to achieve the best results. The dose may be adjusted over time based on individual needs, and it may take a few weeks to notice symptom improvement. Consistent use is essential, and you should not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor.

Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, vomiting, muscle cramps, fatigue, weight loss, headache, loss of appetite, cold symptoms, urinary incontinence, and skin rash. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids can help manage some of these effects. Side effects are more likely when starting the treatment or increasing the dose, but they typically subside as the body adjusts to the medication. If side effects persist or become severe, seek medical advice promptly.
