This paper reviews the side effects of the two long acting cholinesterase inhibitors tacrine and velnacrine. It will focus on tacrine which has been most studied. The two drugs are special as the dosage of them is guided mainly by side effects and not by therapeutic effects in contrast to most drugs used for psychiatric disorders.
