Tacrine is an anticholinesterase drug used for the management of Alzheimer's disease symptoms.
The mechanism of tacrine is not fully known, but it is suggested that the drug is an anticholinesterase agent which reversibly binds with and inactivates cholinesterases. This inhibits the hydrolysis of acetylcholine released from functioning cholinergic neurons, thus leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses. The result is a prolonged effect of acetylcholine.
For the palliative treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
