Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Donepezil is a medication used for Alzheimer's disease that can be taken once daily, making it easier for patients who have difficulty with transportation to the clinic. Tacrine, on the other hand, is rarely used due to its potential liver toxicity, which requires frequent monitoring, and it needs to be taken four times a day. Doxazosin and verapamil are medications used for hypertension and arrhythmias, respectively, and are not indicated for Alzheimer's disease.
