Generic for Exelon for Alzheimer's Disease - Drug Information

Generic Name - Rivastigimine

Category - Alzheimer

Indications

Alzheimer's Disease
Generic Exelon is used to treat the symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Rivastigmine (Generic Exelon) does not cure Alzheimer's disease, however it stops the disease from getting worse. In Alzheimer's disease, many chemical changes take place in the brain. One of the earliest and biggest changes is that there is less of a chemical called acetylcholine (ACh). ACh helps the brain to work properly. Rivastigmine (Generic Exelon) slows the breakdown of ACh, so it can build up and have a greater effect. However, as Alzheimer's disease gets worse, there will be less and less ACh, so rivastigmine may not work as well
