Can Donepezil Hydrochloride Tablets be taken for a long time?

Donepezil (Donepezil) is often used long-term, especially to treat Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease that often requires long-term drug treatment to slow the progression of the disease, improve the patient's cognitive function, and improve the quality of life. As an ethanolamine cholinesterase inhibitor, donepezil's main function is to improve neurotransmission and slow down the development of Alzheimer's disease by increasing the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. Because Alzheimer's disease is a chronic disease, donepezil requires long-term use to be most effective.
