Alzheimer's disease / Dementia in Parkinson's diseaseAlzheimer's disease / Dementia in Parkinson's disease

In Alzheimer's disease In people with Alzheimer?s disease, certain nerve cells die in the brain. This results in lower levels of a chemical called acetylcholine which helps nerve cells to communicate with each other. This leads to symptoms of dementia such as memory loss, confusion, disorientation, problems with speech and language, and personality changes. Exelon Transdermal Patch 5 increases the amount of acetylcholine and helps brain cells to communicate. It can, therefore, improve some of the symptoms such as memory, awareness, and the ability to carry out daily functions for a time. However, it is not a cure. You should use the patches exactly as they have been prescribed and only use one at a time. Choose a different place on your body to wear the patch each time you put on a new one. It can take several weeks for your symptoms to improve; so keep applying the patches even if you do not think they are working.

How it works

Memory loss in Alzheimer?s disease occurs due to disturbances in the transmission of signals within the brain. Exelon Transdermal Patch 5 is a cholinesterase inhibitor which is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. Once absorbed, it works by increasing the levels of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine) involved in the transmission of nerve signals. This improves memory and thinking.Memory loss in Alzheimer?s disease occurs due to disturbances in the transmission of signals within the brain.
