RIVAXEL 9.5MG/24HRS TRANSDERMAL PATCHES 30 PCS

Product Overview

RIVAXEL 9.5MG/24HRS Transdermal Patches are designed for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's dementia. These patches deliver rivastigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, continuously through the skin for 24 hours, offering a convenient alternative to oral medication and helping to manage cognitive symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Benefits of Use

• Helps improve cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and behavior in patients with Alzheimer's dementia.
• Provides a continuous and steady delivery of medication, which can help maintain consistent drug levels in the body.
• Offers a convenient once-daily application, potentially improving patient adherence compared to multiple daily oral doses.
• May reduce gastrointestinal side effects often associated with oral rivastigmine.

How to Use

1. Choose a clean, dry, hairless, and intact skin area on the upper or lower back, upper arm, or chest. Avoid areas that will be rubbed by tight clothing.
2. Open the pouch and remove the patch. Peel off the protective liner carefully without touching the adhesive surface.
3. Apply the patch firmly to the chosen skin area, pressing down with your palm for approximately 30 seconds to ensure good adhesion.
4. Wear one patch for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the old patch and apply a new one to a different skin site.
5. Rotate application sites daily to minimize skin irritation. Do not apply a new patch to the same site for at least 14 days.
6. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying or removing a patch.

• Do not cut the patch into pieces.

• Monitor for skin reactions at the application site. If severe irritation, blistering, or swelling occurs, remove the patch and consult your doctor.

• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
