Scientific Evidence

Donepezil, the active ingredient in Servonex tablets, is a cholinesterase inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is reduced in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, leading to cognitive decline.

Clinical trials have shown that donepezil can improve cognitive function, activities of daily living, and behavior in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated the efficacy of donepezil in slowing the progression of cognitive decline.
