How It Works

Donep-M Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Donepezil – A cholinesterase inhibitor that boosts levels of acetylcholine, a chemical involved in memory and learning.
Memantine – An NMDA receptor antagonist that regulates glutamate activity, another brain chemical involved in learning and memory.

Together, they help improve communication between nerve cells and support better mental function.
