- Patient taking 10 mg of donepezil per day for a minimum of 12 weeks with a stable dose, not taking other brain pills including choline alfoscerate for at least 2 weeks from screening. Drugs that are likely to affect cognition are permissible if the dose is regular and stable for at least 2 weeks before screening and if the treatment continues for the duration of the trial.
You may not qualify if:
- Subject suspected of dementia due to organic causes other than Alzheimer's type dementia
- Other degenerative brain diseases or major mental illnesses such as major depression, bipolar disorder, alcohol/substance abuse or dependence, delirium
