Description

Exelon Patch is a prescription medication used to treat mild to severe dementia related to Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease. Classified as a cholinesterase inhibitor, it works by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine—a neurotransmitter essential for memory and learning. The patch offers a novel approach to medication delivery, providing a controlled release of rivastigmine through the skin and maintaining stable blood levels over 24 hours.
