Overview

Exelon 6mg Capsule is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Rivastigmine 6mg (as rivastigmine tartrate). It is supplied as a capsule and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Exelon 6mg Capsule is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Swallow Exelon 6mg Capsule capsules whole with a full glass of water, taken twice daily with food – typically with breakfast and dinner – to reduce stomach upset. If treatment is interrupted for several days or longer, contact your doctor before restarting, as your doctor may need to restart you at the lowest dose to reduce the risk of side effects.

Dosage

Treatment usually starts at a low dose, which your doctor gradually increases over several weeks, based on your response and tolerability, up to a maintenance dose that may include Exelon 6mg Capsule taken twice daily. Do not change your dose on your own; your doctor will confirm the right dose and titration schedule for you.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
