Overview

Exelon Patch 5 (4.6mg/24hr) Transdermal Patch contains Rivastigmine (transdermal patch delivering 4.6mg/24hr) and is available as a patch. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Exelon Patch 5 (4.6mg/24hr) Transdermal Patch are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Apply the patch to clean, dry, hairless, and intact skin on the upper or lower back, upper arm, or chest, pressing it firmly in place for about 30 seconds. Remove the old patch before applying the new one, and always apply the new patch to a different site – do not reapply to the same spot within 14 days. Never wear two patches at the same time.

Dosage

Apply one Exelon Patch 5 (4.6mg/24hr) Transdermal Patch patch every 24 hours, replacing it with a new patch at a different skin site at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the right delivery rate for you and may adjust it gradually over time based on your response and tolerability, typically after a minimum of several weeks at each dose.

Storage Instructions

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

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other cholinergic medicines may have an additive effect and increase the risk of side effects

  • Muscle relaxants of the succinylcholine type used during anaesthesia can have a prolonged effect – always tell your doctor, dentist, or anaesthetist that you are using this patch before any surgery or procedure
