Generic Aricept vs Brand Aricept
There are very minor differences between brand and generic Aricept; both medications contain the medical ingredient Donepezil Hydrochloride. Brand Donepezil is primarily marketed as Aricept in North America by Esai but can go by different brand names in other parts of the world. Keep in mind that Blue Sky Drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Aricept may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin. Generic Aricept or Donepezil is manufactured outside of an Esai facility; this is the biggest difference between Aricept and Donepezil HCl. Generic Donepezil and Aricept are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from fully licensed pharmacies.
