Exelon is primarily used to treat mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The transdermal patch delivers Rivastigmine through the skin, which may help with memory, thinking, and daily functioning. People often ask, 'What is Exelon used for?' and the answer is that it is designed to manage symptoms of these progressive conditions.

Common effects of Exelon may include skin irritation at the application site, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Some users also report fatigue and loss of appetite. These effects can vary depending on individual tolerance and the duration of use.

Exelon patches should be applied to clean, dry, and intact skin. Avoid applying the patch to areas with cuts, rashes, or irritation. It is important to handle the patch carefully to avoid accidental exposure to others. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
