Background: Donepezil has consistently been shown to be effective and well tolerated in the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease in placebo-controlled clinical trials. It has been shown to provide significant benefits in cognition, global function and activities of daily living in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. However, in order to control for confounding factors, some clinical trials of donepezil have excluded patients with comorbid illness and concomitant medication use.
