Mylan-Rivastigmine uses


Rivastigmine belongs to a family of medications known as cholinesterase inhibitors. It is used to treat symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is also used to treat mild to moderate dementia (problems with brain functions such as memory, language, and thinking) associated with Parkinson's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is caused by the constant degeneration of certain nerve cells in the brain that make a chemical called acetylcholine. This chemical is thought to be important for the processes of learning and memory. Parkinson's disease dementia is also believed to be related to a shortage of acetylcholine. Rivastigmine prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, thereby increasing its levels in the brain. Rivastigmine provides the most benefit when there are enough cells producing adequate levels of acetylcholine (i.e., in mild to moderate disease) but provides little benefit when the disease becomes severe.

Rivastigmine may improve cognitive function (memory, orientation, and language) and general ability to perform activities of daily living. Rivastigmine may take up to 12 weeks to begin working, but individual response varies.
