Rivagtrip-1.5 Tablet 10's 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.

Rivagtrip-1.5 Tablet 10's contains 'Rivastigmine' that belongs to the class of 'Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors'.

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit the message from one nerve cell to another nerve cell, muscle cell or gland cell.

Alzheimer's disease: The disease is named after Dr Alois Alzheimer, who was the first to discover the disease. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes dementia (memory loss) and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate and eventually, the ability to handle daily activities. It is the most common cause of dementia (memory loss) in adults. 

Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning, such as remembering, thinking and reasoning. The causes of this disease are abnormal functioning of brain cells, which cause a disturbance in communication between them. The risk factors are age, family history and genetics of a person. Alzheimer's disease symptoms include memory loss, trouble with familiar tasks, difficulties with problem-solving, trouble with writing or talking, disorientation, problems with reasoning or judgment, and mood and personality changes. In most people, the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear in their mid-60s.

Parkinson's disease: It is a central nervous system disorder that affects movement leading to shaking, stiffness and difficulty with walking, balance and coordination. This disease affects the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine (neurotransmitter). Parkinson's disease symptoms include dementia, muscle rigidity, tremors and changes in speech and gait (pattern of limb movement). This disease generally occurs in people aged 60 years and over. Risk factors for this disease include genetics, environmental triggers, and certain toxins.
