What is Rivastigmine used for?

People often ask, what is rivastigmine used for, and it is primarily prescribed to support cognitive function and daily living activities.

What are the side effects of Rivastigmine?

The patch format aims to minimize gastrointestinal side effects compared to oral forms. Consistent application may support stable symptom control throughout the day.
