Safely Buy Exelon ( Rivastigmine ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Exelon (rivastigmine) is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer’s dementia, as well as mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease in the UK.

Exelon is a cholinesterase inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of a brain chemical called acetylcholine, which helps nerve cells communicate more effectively.

Use and Dosage

Medical professionals should monitor patients for side effects such as nausea and vomiting, as well as the recommended dosage of 6-12 mg per day, administered twice a day, to ensure the optimal therapeutic response.

Therefore, only a healthcare provider should prescribe Exelon to patients after proper diagnosis and risk assessment.

Side Effects

Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite/weight loss, diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, and shakiness (tremor) may occur as your body adjusts to the drug. These effects usually occur when you start the medication or increase the dose and then lessen it. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including slow heartbeat, black stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, severe stomach/abdominal pain, seizures, and trouble urinating.

Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, and fainting.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

Rivastigmine may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, and fainting) that need medical attention right away.

Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/”water pills”) or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using rivastigmine safely.
