1. WHAT RIVASTIGMINE ROSEMONT ORAL SOLUTION IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Rivastigmine belongs to a class of substances called cholinesterase
inhibitors. In patients with 
Alzheimer’s dementia or dementia due to Parkinson’s disease,
certain nerve cells die in the brain, 
resulting in low levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (a
substance that allows nerve cells 
to communicate with each other). Rivastigmine works by blocking the
enzymes that break down 
acetylcholine: acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. By
blocking these enzymes, 
Rivastigmine allows levels of acetylcholine to be increased in the
brain, helping to reduce the 
symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia associated with
Parkinson’s disease.
Rivastigmine Rosemont is used for the treatment of adult patients with
mild to moderately severe 
Alzheimer’s dementia, a progressive brain disorder that gradually
affects memory, intellectual

treatment of dementia in adult�
