What Is Donepezil Used For? -- An Overview
Donepezil (Aricept®) is a medication that has been licensed to treat the symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that affects a person's thought process, memory, and language, with no known cause or cure. People with Alzheimer's generally show signs of memory loss, confusion, and the inability to perform simple daily tasks. The disease usually starts with mild memory problems and eventually leads to severe brain damage.

Donepezil has been licensed for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Donepezil is not a cure for Alzheimer's, nor does it slow down the progression of disease. It can, however, help improve memory, attention, reason, language, and the ability to perform simple daily tasks.

Is Donepezil Used for Children?
Donepezil has not been approved for use in children.

Is Donepezil Used Off-Label?
On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend donepezil for treating something other than the conditions discussed above. This is called an "off-label" use. Some off-label donepezil uses include the treatment of:

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Behavioral symptoms with other types of dementia
Moderate to severe Alzheimer's symptoms
Memory problems following traumatic brain injury (TBI).
