Exelon Patch 15 (13.3mg/24h) Transdermal Patch

Exelon Patch 15 (13.3mg/24h) is a transdermal patch that belongs to a class of medications known as cholinesterase inhibitors and contains the active ingredient Rivastigmine. It is worn on the skin and releases medication slowly over 24 hours to maintain consistent levels in the body through the day. Some common side effects include skin irritation where the patch is applied, nausea, low appetite, and dizziness. If you’re looking for a more convenient alternative to pills, this patch offers a simpler, once-daily option — just stick it on and go about your day.

Apply one patch to clean, dry, hairless skin on your upper back, chest, or upper arm every 24 hours and remove the used patch before applying a new one.

The usual recommended dose is one patch per day, which delivers 13.3mg of medication over 24 hours; only use as prescribed by your doctor.

The shelf life is typically 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture, but always refer to the expiry date on the packaging.

Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not use if you are allergic to rivastigmine or any of the patch’s ingredients. Avoid if you have had previous severe skin reactions or serious side effects from cholinesterase inhibitors. Consult your doctor before use if you have liver problems, heart rhythm issues, or are underweight.
