How effective is the new medication for Alzeimer disease Aricept?
New? Aricept was approved for treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease in 1996. My mother took it from about 1999 until her death in 2001. There was no benefit as far as I can tell. Maybe it helps some other people, but I don’t think it helped my mother. I doubt if she really had Alzheimers’s Disease though. I think she had Vascular Dementia.
