Effects on caregiver burden of donepezil 10 mg/day – Video abstract [ID 69750]
Effects on caregiver burden of donepezil 10 mg/day – Video abstract [ID 69750] Side Effects 0 Views • 4 months ago

Video abstract of an original research paper “Effects on caregiver burden of a donepezil hydrochloride dosage increase to 10 mg/day in patients with Alzheimer’s disease” published in the open access journal Patient Preference and Adherence by Nakamura K, Watanabe N, Ohkawa H, et al.

Background: In this study, we evaluated changes in functioning and caregiver burden in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients after a dosage increase that was made based on pharmacists’ evaluation of AD patients’ behavior in daily life.
Methods: Pharmacists used a checklist, a questionnaire, and the Repetitive Saliva Swallowing Test (RSST) to gather data on the daily life of AD patients taking donepezil 5 mg/day and their caregivers. In 27 cases, pharmacists suggested a dosage change to 10 mg/day to AD patients’ physicians. Pharmacists then evaluated these patients for 16 weeks after the increase to determine changes in functional assessment staging, caregiver burden, and swallowing function.
Results: During the 16-week study, 20 of the 27 patients showed at least one-stage improvement in relation to the five assessed aspects of daily life (time/place, speech, bathing, dressing, and toileting). The mean score for caregiver burden due to personal strain was significantly lower after the dosage increase than before (5.15±3.76 at baseline; from 3.89±3.42 at week 4 to 3.59±3.90 at week 16; P less than 0.05), as was the mean score due to role strain (2.19±2.80 at baseline; 1.56±2.64 at week 8; P less than 0.05). After the dosage increase, the impaired swallowing function that accompanies AD was improved in the patients with swallowing problems, as indicated by a higher mean RSST score (1.22±0.67 at baseline; from 2.78±1.72 at week 4 to 2.78±1.79 at week 16; P less than 0.05).
Conclusion: The dosage increase not only decreased caregiver burden, but also appeared to improve impaired swallowing function. Medication therapy management by pharmacists of AD patients, including the use of a checklist, contributed to the correct use of donepezil and improved quality of life for caregivers.

Six FDA-Approved Alzheimer's Dementia Prescription Medications
Six FDA-Approved Alzheimer's Dementia Prescription Medications Side Effects 0 Views • 4 months ago

Presently, Alzheimer's Disease is incurable. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved six (6) prescription medications for treating some of the memory-loss symptoms associated with cognitive impairment and dementia.

These pharmaceuticals fall into three (3) broad categories.

Firstly, there are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI). These are designed to boost the brain's levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine by hindering the body's ability to break it down. These drugs include donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne/Reminyl), rivastigmine (Exelon), and the now-obsolete tacrine (Cognex).

For a more in-depth explanation of how this first sort of drug works, see my video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UxFMx40Ur0

Secondly, come the NMDA-receptor antagonists (NMDARA). These have to do with the funciton of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and the neurotransmitter glutamate. At the present time, the main offering, here, is memantine (Namenda).

Thirdly, are composite medications that combine the actions of the first two categories. To put it differently, and as of this writing, researchers have put donepezil together with memantine (to create Namzaric).

None of these interventions is curative. They do not reverse Alzheimer's. They may, however, be able to slow down a person's cognitive decline. However, these drugs may have side effects.

Understanding Aricept  Benefits & Side Effects  #brainhealth #energia #parkinson
Understanding Aricept Benefits & Side Effects #brainhealth #energia #parkinson Side Effects 1 Views • 4 months ago

Welcome to GEM Neurology! In this video, we’ll discuss Aricept (Donepezil)—a widely prescribed medication for Alzheimer’s disease. While it’s FDA-approved for mild, moderate, and severe Alzheimer’s, many doctors also use it off-label for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) due to strong clinical evidence supporting its benefits.

What is Aricept, and How Does It Work?

Aricept belongs to a class of medications called cholinesterase inhibitors, which increase acetylcholine levels in the brain. This neurotransmitter plays a key role in memory, learning, and other cognitive functions.

Benefits of Aricept:
1. Improves Cognitive Function: Patients may experience better memory, attention, and daily task performance.
2. Slows Symptom Progression: Aricept can delay the worsening of symptoms, allowing patients to maintain independence longer.
3. Convenience: It’s a once-daily pill taken in the morning or night (FDA-approved for nighttime use).

Potential Side Effects of Aricept:

Like any medication, Aricept can cause side effects, including:
• Nausea and Diarrhea: Common but usually temporary.
• Loss of Appetite or Weight Loss: Minor but worth monitoring.
• Muscle Cramps: Mild discomfort in some cases.
• Fatigue or Insomnia: Rare but possible.
• Heart-Related Symptoms: Rarely, it can slow the heart rate. Avoid if your heart rate is below 60 bpm.

💡 Tip: Always consult your doctor about any side effects.

Tips for Aricept Users:
• Stick to the prescribed dose: Higher doses won’t improve results but can increase risks. (Avoid doses over 10 mg daily.)
• Be patient: Improvements may take weeks to notice.
• Engage with your doctor: Report any side effects or concerns promptly.
• Combine strategies: Use Aricept alongside a healthy diet, cognitive activities, and social engagement for the best results.

Do Alzheimer's Medications Work?

A bit more detailed information about Donepezil and Memantine:
Donepezil or Aricept is what’s known as a cholinesterase inhibitor. When a person is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, they begin to have less and less of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine who’s job is to carry signals from nerve cells to muscle cells. Acetylcholine plays a vital role in muscle contractions, memory, motivation, sleep and learning. The brain also has an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase. This is the enzyme that helps to break down acetylcholine so that it can be recycled and rebuilt into new neurotransmitters for the next message.
So, the rationale behind Donepezil is relatively simple: if you block the enzyme acetylcholinesterase from breaking down the acetylcholine, then more of it will remain and the brain can continue carrying signals between nerve cells and muscle cells.

Memantine is what’s known as an NMDA antagonist. So, instead of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, Memantine works by slowing the transmission of a different neurotransmitter called glutamate. Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It plays an important role in learning and memory. But, it is thought that too much stimulation by glutamate may over-excite nerve cells and cause them to die. So, by blocking the effects of glutamate, Memantine may protect nerve cells from getting overstimulated.
