Uses of Exelon Patch 10 9.5mg|24h Patch

Exelon Patch 10 9.5mg|24h Patch is used to treat the symptoms of mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia linked to Parkinson’s disease. It can help with memory, thinking and day-to-day functioning for a time, although it does not stop the underlying disease from progressing. It is available as capsules, oral solution and skin patches.

How Exelon Patch 10 9.5mg|24h Patch works

Rivastigmine blocks the enzymes that break down acetylcholine, a brain chemical involved in memory, learning and attention. People with dementia have lower levels of acetylcholine, so keeping more of it available can improve communication between nerve cells.

Possible side effects

Exelon Patch 10 9.5mg|24h Patch often causes stomach-related effects, particularly when treatment starts or the dose goes up. These include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Loss of appetite or weight loss
• Dizziness
• Diarrhoea
• Skin redness or itching under the patch

Seek medical help for severe or persistent vomiting, fainting or a very slow heartbeat, black or bloody stools, or seizures.

Precautions and warnings

• Take capsules with food, and with patches remove the old one before applying a new one and change the site each time.
• The dose is increased gradually; if doses are missed for several days, speak to your doctor before restarting.
• Tell your doctor if you have a slow or irregular heartbeat, stomach ulcers, asthma or COPD, difficulty passing urine or epilepsy.
• Let your doctor know about all other medicines, including those for Parkinson’s disease, bladder problems or heart conditions.
