My husband had breathing problems and mucous build up in bronchi....

I am so sorry for your loss.
there should be more research done on these medications!..shame on them!..

I looked up the side-effects of Aricept and found that it can cause death especially if the pulmonary muscles has lost their strength. His had. His doctor had not seen him for almost 2 years, yet he prescribed it sight-unseen and sent it to the assisted-living center where he was staying. They never checked with me his wife and he was on it unbeknown to me. How does that work?
