Tacrine hydrochloride (
Cognex®) is a prescription medication approved to treat mild-to-moderate
Alzheimer's disease. Although the drug is not a cure for this condition, it can help slow down the worsening of
Alzheimer's symptoms and may even temporarily improve them.
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with tacrine. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience problems. In fact, many people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, they are often minor and either require no treatment or can be treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.
Common side effects of tacrine include but are not limited to:
- High liver enzymes
- Nausea, with or without vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness.
