For donepezil film-coated tablet 5mg, the price varies according to province with higher prices seen in eastern regions of Indonesia, but the price range is around Rp. 1,700 to Rp. 2,200. There are other products registered at BPOM (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) as traditional supplements without specific dementia indication but can be found on locally popular e-commerce websites advertised as dementia medication at a much higher price. For example, Kapsul Esktrak Pegagan priced at Rp 250,000, citicoline 500mg (Rp 165,000), and Lycozein Softgel (Rp 450,000) (Wu, 2014).
