WHAT RIVASTIGMINE ACTAVIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance of Rivastigmine Actavis 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,
Rivastigmine Actavis 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.
