Exelon Patch, also called the rivastigmine patch, is a transdermal system used to treat dementia in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Instead of taking pills, patients apply a patch to hairless skin, usually on the upper arm, chest, or back, where the medication can be absorbed slowly over 24 hours. The patch form of this drug helps reduce gastrointestinal side effects that can occur with oral rivastigmine.

The main active ingredient, rivastigmine, is a cholinesterase inhibitor. By increasing certain natural substances in the brain, it helps improve cognitive function, memory, and daily living skills. The patch offers a flexible polymer backing film that protects the medication and makes application easy. It’s designed with both acrylic copolymer and silicone oil to ensure steady absorption.

On our website, you can find three available strengths: Patch 5 (4.6 mg/24hr), Patch 10 (9.5 mg/24hr), and Patch 15 (13.3 mg/24hr). This way, you can order the dosage that best matches your doctor’s recommendation.
