About Exelon 3 Tablet

Exelon 3 Tablet  used to treat mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder which causes dementia (memory loss) and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities. Parkinson's disease is a central nervous system disorder that affects movement, leading to shaking, stiffness and difficulty with walking, balance and coordination.

Exelon 3 Tablet contains 'Rivastigmine' that belongs to the class of 'Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors'. Rivastigmine increases acetylcholine (a brain chemical) levels, allowing the nerve cells to communicate. It restores the balance of neurotransmitters and improves mental function, such as memory and thinking. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit the message from one nerve cell to another nerve cell, muscle cell or gland cell.
