WHAT PROMETAX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance of Prometax is rivastigmine.
Rivastigmine belongs to a class of substances called cholinesterase
inhibitors. In patients with
Alzheimer’s dementia or dementia due to Parkinson’s disease,
certain nerve cells die in the brain,
resulting in low levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (a
substance that allows nerve cells to
communicate with each other). Rivastigmine works by blocking the
enzymes that break down
acetylcholine: acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. By
blocking these enzymes, Prometax
allows levels of acetylcholine to be increased in the brain, helping
to reduce the symptoms of
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia associated with Parkinson’s
disease.
Prometax is used for the treatment of adult patients with mild to
moderately severe Alzheimer’s
dementia, a progressive brain disorder that gradually affects memory,
intellectual ability and
behaviour. The capsules and oral solution can also be used for the
treatment of dementia in adult
patients
