AnnotationThe local experience of the introduction of a new anticholinesterase treatment (donepezil, also known as Aricept) is described, including the use of a protocol to introduce the use of these drugs. The results for the first 253 patients seen in the Argyle and Clyde Health Board Area are reported. The protocol seemed to anticipate Standing Medical Advisory Service (SMAC) guidelines and to be easy to update. The drug appeared to have a clear clinical effect. (RH).
