Safely Buy Exelon Patch (Rivastigmine) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Description

Exelon Patch is a transdermal medication that contains rivastigmine; it belongs to the cholinesterase inhibitors that improve the nerve cells in the brain. It prevents acetylcholine’s breakdown and increases its concentration by enhancing cholinergic functions associated with memory, thinking, and reasoning.  

Exelon Patch Uses 

Exelon Patch is used to improving mild to moderate dementia in Alzheimer’s disease; Alzheimer’s is caused by nerve cells in the brain that are dying, resulting in the shrinking of cell tissues that disrupts cellular communication associated with declining memory, speech, comprehension, and other changes. It can also be used in mild to moderate dementia in Parkinson’s Disease, a brain disorder that causes shaking, stiffness, difficulty walking, balancing, and coordination.  

Exelon Patch does not cure these diseases but improves memory, awareness, and the ability to perform daily functions as it restores the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain. This patch can be used alone or be prescribed together with other medications, but patients with ACD allergic contact dermatitis should not use this medication.  

Exelon Patch Dose 

Exelon Patch can only be used if prescribed by a health professional based on the patient’s medical condition, other taken medication, weight, and response to treatment. Exelon Patch should not be placed on the skin with blisters, redness, swelling, and areas applied with lotion, creams, and powder.  

It is available in strengths of 4.6mg, 9.5mg, and 13.3mg and is applied once a day in cleaned and drier areas like the upper or lower back, upper arm, or chest; make sure to avoid placing it in easily rubbed areas like the waistline.
