WHAT RIVASTIGMINE 3M HEALTH CARE LTD. IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance of Rivastigmine 3M Health Care Ltd. is
rivastigmine.
Rivastigmine belongs to a class of substances called cholinesterase
inhibitors. In patients with
Alzheimer’s dementia, certain nerve cells die in the brain,
resulting in low levels of the
neurotransmitter acetylcholine (a substance that allows nerve cells to

Rivastigmine works by blocking the enzymes that break down
acetylcholine: acetylcholinesterase and

Health Care Ltd. allows levels of
