🌿 What is Rivastigmine 3 mg (Rivamer)?

Rivamer contains Rivastigmine Tartrate, a centrally acting cholinesterase inhibitor that increases acetylcholine levels in the brain. It improves cognitive function and daily living activities in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease dementia.

Clinical trials demonstrate that 3 mg twice daily slows cognitive decline and enhances memory and attention. Rivastigmine’s unique inhibition of both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase provides broad cholinergic support.

For full prescribing details and safety information, refer to the FDA label for Exelon, the Drugs.com monograph, the NHS Medicines A–Z entry, and the WHO Essential Medicines List.
