About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Exelon 6mg Capsule contains Rivastigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor used primarily for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Rivastigmine works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, attention, and reasoning, by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase that breaks it down. This action helps improve cognitive function and slows the progression of symptoms related to memory loss, confusion, and difficulties with thinking and reasoning. Exelon 6mg Capsule is typically administered orally and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is important to start with a lower dose and gradually increase it to minimize side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and dizziness. Patients with a history of heart problems, stomach ulcers, or liver and kidney issues should inform their doctor before using this medication. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to assess effectiveness and adjust dosage if necessary. Exelon is not a cure for dementia but can significantly improve quality of life by enhancing cognitive function and daily living activities. Always consult a physician before starting or stopping this medication.
