Exelon 4.5mg Capsule 14's

Exelon 4.5mg Capsule 14's belongs to a group of medicines called 'anti-dementia agents' used to treat mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder, which causes dementia (memory loss) and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate and handling daily activities. Parkinson's disease is a central nervous system disorder that affects movement leading to shaking, stiffness and difficulty with walking, balance and coordination.

Exelon 4.5mg Capsule 14's contains 'Rivastigmine' that belongs to the class of 'Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors'. Rivastigmine increases acetylcholine (a brain chemical) levels allowing the nerve cells to communicate. It restores the balance of  neurotransmitters and improves mental function, such as memory and thinking. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit the message from one nerve cell to another nerve cell, muscle cell or a gland cell.
