Exelon Patch 10 (9.5mg) Patch

Exelon Patch 10 (9.5mg) Patch is a cholinesterase inhibitor containing Rivastigmine as the active ingredient. It is used to treat mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's dementia in adults. Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, intellect, and behaviour. In this condition, specific nerve cells in the brain die, leading to reduced levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is essential for nerve cell communication. This medicine works by blocking the enzymes that break down acetylcholine, thereby helping to reduce Alzheimer's symptoms. It is also used to treat dementia in adult patients with Parkinson's disease.
