Drug Info for rivastigmine tartrate
Rivastigmine is used to treat dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and may cause changes in mood and personality) in people with Alzheimer's disease (a brain disease that slowly destroys the memory and ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities). Rivastigmine is also used to treat dementia in people with Parkinson's disease (a brain and nervous system disease with symptoms of slowing of movement, muscle weakness, shuffling walk, and loss of memory). Rivastigmine is in a class of medications called cholinesterase inhibitors. It improves mental function (such as memory and thinking) by increasing the amount of a certain natural substance in the brain.
Rivastigmine treats dementia and is prescribed to those with Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s. The brand-name version of Rivastigmine is Exelon. The Rivastigmine price is expensive, at an average of $817 for a box of 30, 4.6 mg/24 hr patches. However, you can use our free OptionRx coupon card to save significantly on Rivastigmine prices at a participating pharmacy near you.
