QTc prolongation and torsades de pointes have been identified in postmarketing case reports of donepezil. Instances of QTc prolongation have predominantly been documented in the geriatric population, primarily in those with additional risk factors. Additionally, current literature does not support the use of donepezil for neurocognitive rehabilitation in daily doses exceeding 10 mg. A temporal and causal relationship was observed between the initiation and titration of donepezil and development of QTc prolongation.
