Rivastigmine Patch
Generic alternative to Exelon Patch
Rivastigmine patch is a transdermal (skin patch) treatment for mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It works by increasing levels of acetylcholine, a brain chemical important for memory and thinking, while causing fewer stomach side effects than oral forms.
How is this medication used?
Apply one patch to clean, dry, hairless skin on the upper or lower back, upper arm, or chest once daily, replacing it at the same time each day. Rotate application sites and avoid using the same spot within 14 days. Remove the old patch before applying a new one.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, dizziness, and skin reactions at the application site such as redness or itching. Contact your doctor if severe skin reactions or persistent vomiting occur.
What are the potential interactions?
Rivastigmine may interact with anticholinergic medications (which oppose its effects), other cholinergic drugs, certain muscle relaxants used in anesthesia, and beta-blockers, which may increase the risk of slow heart rate. Tell your doctor about all medications you take.
