Description
Rivamer 3 mg
Rivamer 3 mg is a prescription medication containing Rivastigmine, primarily used to treat mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. It works by enhancing the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory and cognitive function.
Rivamer 3 mg helps improve attention, memory, and the ability to perform daily activities. It is typically prescribed by neurologists and taken under strict medical supervision. This medicine is well-suited for long-term use, provided regular monitoring is done.
Rivamer is available in capsule form and should be taken exactly as prescribed. Always consult your doctor before starting or changing dosage.
Uses
Rivamer 3 mg is used to treat mild to moderate dementia in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease patients.
How to Use Rivamer 3 mg?
Take Rivamer 3 mg orally with food to minimize stomach upset. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water—do not crush or chew. Follow the dosage exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually taken twice daily.
Dosage may be gradually increased based on your body’s response. Continue taking it regularly, even if symptoms improve. Never stop medication without consulting your physician, as sudden withdrawal may worsen symptoms.
How Does It Work?
Rivamer 3 mg contains Rivastigmine, which is a cholinesterase inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine, a natural substance in the brain that supports memory and cognitive function. In Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients, acetylcholine levels are lower than normal.
By slowing the breakdown of this neurotransmitter, Rivamer improves brain function and helps manage symptoms of dementia like confusion, memory loss, and difficulty concentrating.
