Rivastigmine is used for:

Treating mild to moderate impairment of memory, judgment, and abstract thinking, as well as changes in personality caused by Alzheimer disease.

Rivastigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor. It works by slowing the breakdown of a chemical in the brain, which increases the amount of that chemical in the brain. This chemical is thought to have an effect on memory and thinking ability. There is no evidence that Rivastigmine alters the course of Alzheimer disease.

Do NOT use Rivastigmine if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Rivastigmine.

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
