WHAT RIVASTIGMINE 1 A PHARMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance of Rivastigmine 1 A Pharma is rivastigmine.
Rivastigmine 1 A Pharma 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 1 A Pharma 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.
Rivastigmine 1 A Pharma is used for the treatment of adult patients
with mild to moderately severe
Alzheimer’s dementia, a progressive b
