Introduction
Alzil M Forte Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat Alzheimer's disease. It helps to slow down the progression of moderate to severe Alzheimer's by improving memory and thinking. It also increases the levels of a chemical messenger involved in the transmission of nerve signals. While it does not cure Alzheimer's, it may help with brain function and daily activities. Patients should monitor their body weight regularly as both the medication and Alzheimer's disease can cause weight loss. It is important to inform your doctor if you have a history of seizures, as this medication may raise the chances of seizures. Additionally, it may cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken with medications for inflammation or pain. Consult your doctor if you experience vomiting blood or have black-colored stools.

How it works
