About Exelon

Exelon is a medication that contains the active ingredient rivastigmine. It is used to treat symptoms of mild to moderately severe dementia associated with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Exelon works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, a neurotransmitter that is important for memory and learning. This medication is suitable for individuals experiencing memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with daily activities due to these conditions.
