Introduction of Exelon Patch 5 (4.6mg)

Exelon 5 (4.6 mg) Transdermal Patch is used to manage mild to moderate symptoms of dementia, a brain disorder characterized by memory decline, shifts in personality, and challenges in carrying out daily tasks, caused by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. While Exelon Patch 5 does not provide a cure for either of these illnesses, Exelon 5 Transdermal Patch enhances the performance of brain cells. Exelon Patch 5 (4.6 mg) operates by inhibiting the degradation of a crucial chemical responsible for memory, reasoning, and thinking. Individuals with dementia typically have reduced levels of this chemical.

Exelon Patch 5 may cause some of the frequently observed adverse effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, headache, fainting, dizziness, anxiety, depression, confusion, restlessness, urinary tract infection, urinary incontinence, rash, fever, weight loss, and reactions at the site of application. You may experience these side effects more frequently when starting the treatment or when the dose is increased. Typically, the side effects will gradually subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. If the side effects persist or become severe, remove the patch and seek medical advice from your doctor.
