Hi Mike (there are a lot of us here),
I'm guessing you might be seeking "Aricept." Aricept (generic name:
donepezil hydrochloride) inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that
breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). ACh is associated
with learning and memory, and its concentration is reduced in patients
with Alzheimer's disease.
For more info try searching Yahoo for aricept or donepezil, and/or visit
the websites of pfizer or eisai (the pharmaceutical companies that will
be copromoting it).
Hope this helps,
Mike
