General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Usually Donepazil does not cause hair loss. Your wife should have high protein diet, vitamin supplements and treat dandruff. Avoid direct exposure to direct sunlight for long periods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
