EXELON 4.6MG-24H TRANSDERMAL PATCHES 30 PCS
Product Description
Exelon 4.6mg/24h Transdermal Patches offer a convenient and effective way to manage the symptoms of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's disease. These patches provide a continuous, steady release of the active ingredient, Rivastigmine, over a 24-hour period, helping to improve cognitive function and slow the progression of symptoms.

How to Use
Follow these steps for proper application:
- Preparation: Choose a clean, dry, hairless, intact area of skin for application, such as the upper arm, chest, or back. Avoid irritated skin.
- Application: Open the sachet and remove the patch. Peel off the protective liner carefully and apply the sticky side of the patch firmly to the chosen skin area. Press down for at least 30 seconds to ensure good adhesion.
- Replacement: Apply a new patch at the same time each day (every 24 hours). Always remove the old patch before applying a new one.
- Rotation: Rotate the application site daily to minimize skin irritation. Do not apply a new patch to the exact same spot for at least 14 days.
- Disposal: After removal, fold the used patch in half with the adhesive sides together and dispose of it safely, out of reach of children and pets.
Caution & Warnings
- Prescription Only: Exelon Patches are a prescription medicine. Always use under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
- Do Not Cut: Do not cut the patch. It is designed to deliver a specific dose over 24 hours.
- Skin Reactions: Monitor the application site for redness, irritation, or allergic reactions. If severe skin reactions occur, consult your doctor immediately.
- Avoid Heat: Do not expose the patch or the application site to external heat sources (e.g., excessive sunlight, saunas, heating pads) as this can increase drug absorption.
- Discontinuation: Do not stop treatment suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to a worsening of symptoms.
- Missed Dose: If you forget to change your patch, apply a new one as soon as you remember. Do not apply two patches to make up for a missed dose.
- Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking.
