However, when using these drugs, you should be aware of side effects and interactions with other drugs. When choosing an appropriate dementia medication, patients should have a thorough discussion with their doctor and follow their doctor's advice. Timely treatment and monitoring of drug efficacy are important parts of maintaining the health and quality of life of people with dementia.

Donepezil is a drug used to treat Alzheimer's disease. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should tell your doctor before taking Doleptin. It is not known whether tadalafil may harm the fetus, so your doctor may advise you to stop taking tadalafil to reduce possible risks to the fetus.
If you are taking Doleprexa while breastfeeding, you should also tell your doctor. Doleptin may pass to your baby through breast milk, so your doctor may recommend that you stop breastfeeding or choose another medicine.
In short, if you are pregnant or using Duoyipusu while breastfeeding, be sure to consult a doctor for the most appropriate advice. Do not stop or change the dose of the medicine on your own as this may have adverse effects on you or your baby. Maintaining good communication and paying close attention to your doctor's instructions are key steps to ensuring medication safety during pregnancy.
