Abstract
Purpose/Background: Sustained-releasehigh-dose (23 mg/d) donepezil has been approved for treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer disease (AD). Based on a previous clinical trialbody weight of less than 55 kg is a risk factor for adverse events with donepezil 23 mg/d treatment in global population. Methods/Procedures: To clarify whether this finding is consistent across ethnic groups that vary in absolute body masswe recruited Korean patients aged 45 to 90 years with moderate to severe AD who had been receiving standard donepezil immediate release 10mg/d for at least 3months.
