Description
Rivastigmine (sold under the trade name Exelon among others) is a cholinesterase inhibitor used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The drug can be administered orally or via a transdermal patch; the latter form reduces the prevalence of side effects, which typically include nausea and vomiting.
The drug is eliminated through the urine, and appears to have relatively few drug-drug interactions.
It was patented in 1985 and came into medical use in 1997.
