Transdermal rivastigmine is also used to treat dementia in people with Parkinson's disease (a brain system disease with symptoms of slowing of movement, muscle weakness, shuffling walk, and loss of memory). Rivastigmine is in a class of medications called cholinesterase inhibitors. It improves mental function (such as memory and thinking) by increasing the amount of a certain natural substance in the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRivastigmine Transdermal Patch 13.3mg by Mylan Pharmaceuticals is a once-daily medication designed for the management of mild to severe dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease.
