NAMZARIC^® helps fight the symptoms of moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

If your loved one with moderate AD is taking donepezil 10 mg, NAMZARIC may:

Improve cognition, also known as mental function
Improve overall function
Slow down the worsening of symptoms for a while

There is no evidence that NAMZARIC prevents or slows the underlying disease process in patients with AD.

To help start a conversation with the healthcare provider and see if NAMZARIC is right for your loved one, view and print this NAMZARIC brochure.

Taking something other than donepezil HCl 10 mg for moderate to severe AD?

If your loved one is taking a different AChEI—Exelon^® Patch (rivastigmine)* or Razadyne^® (galantamine HBr)^†—or a dose other than 10 mg of donepezil HCl, ask the healthcare provider about combination therapy and if adding NAMENDA XR to your loved one’s current treatment may be right for him or her.
