FAQ's on Aricep 5MG Tablet 10s

Does Aricep cause depression?

No, Aricep does not cause depression. If you are experiencing symptoms, then it could be due to existing Alzheimer’s disease.

For how long does Aricep stay in your system?

Aricep gets removed from the body very slowly. It takes about two weeks or more for Aricep to be completely removed from the system.

Can it cause insomnia?

Yes, insomnia (sleeplessness) is a common side effect of Aricep. Dizziness and fainting can also be seen as common side effects. Though these side effects are common, they do not occur in everyone.

What if I take more than the prescribed dose of Aricep?

Taking more than the recommended dose of Aricep may cause vomiting, increased sweating or saliva production, slow heartbeat, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, seizures or fits, weakness, and inability to control your bowel motions or passing of urine (incontinence). You should seek immediate help from a doctor or emergency service of a nearby hospital.

I have been taking indomethacin for arthritis. Can I take Aricep?

Aricep does not interfere with the working of indomethacin, but indomethacin individually increases the risk of stomach bleeding when taken for a long time. Therefore, if you experience any symptoms of stomach bleeding, consult your doctor immediately.

How long does it take for Aricep to start working?

Does Aricep cause hallucinations?

Hallucinations are a common side effect of Aricep, though not everyone is affected. Other common psychiatric side effects include agitation, aggressive behavior, nightmares, and abnormal dreams.

When should Aricep be stopped?

Do not stop Aricep without consulting your doctor. This medicine only helps to control your condition but does not cure it. Therefore, it may take several weeks to show benefits, so do not be discouraged if you do not see an improvement straight away. But, in case your condition starts worsening and you feel that it is no longer helping you, then you should consult a doctor before stopping it.

Do the gastrointestinal side effects due to Aricep persist for a long time?

Gastrointestinal side effects may appear during the first few weeks of treatment with Aricep. This can be minimized by taking Aricep at bedtime and with food. Generally, these side effects are mild and disappear within a few weeks with continued treatment.

Who should not take Aricep?
