The second, approved in 1996, was donepezil hydrochloride (Aricept). (references)

A number of drugs that temporarily maintain the cholinergic system have been developed or are now being tested to treat the cognitive decline experienced by patients with AD. For example, all three of the drugs that have been approved by the FDA – tacrine (Cognex), donepezil hydrochloride (Aricept), and rivastigmine (Exelon) – act by slowing down the metabolic breakdown of acetylcholine. (references)

No treatment can stop AD. However, for some people in the early and middle stages of the disease, the drugs tacrine (Cognex), donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), or galantamine (Reminyl) may help prevent some symptoms from becoming worse for a limited time. Also, some medicines may help control behavioral symptoms of AD such as sleeplessness, agitation, wandering, anxiety, and depression. (references)
