Is It Safe To Take Donepezil Hcl?
My husband was recently diagnosed with alzheimers, but also has a 3mm aneurysm in his brain, the doctor prescribed Donopezil hcl, I am not a doctor, but to me, this sounds dangerous, since this drug increases blood flow to the brain, this prescription was not prescribed by a neurologist, but from a very general doctor at the VA, I am very concerned about this, please help.
