Cholinesterase inhibitors are most commonly prescribed in the mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer's disease. These include Aricept (donezepil HCL), Exelon (rivastigmine), and Razadyne (galantamine). They may cause side effects and may interact with other medications. Your doctor may need to try different cholinesterase inhibitors until the most effective one is found. These types of medications postpone the worsening of symptoms for 6 to 12 months in about half of the people who take them.
