Rivastigmine 9 mg Patch

Rivastigmine 9 mg Patch utilizes advanced matrix technology to ensure the medication is absorbed evenly over a full day. This "steady-state" delivery is crucial for elderly patients, as it minimizes the confusion and side effects associated with fluctuating drug levels found in oral dosing.

Key Clinical Benefits

• 24-Hour Cognitive Support: Provides a consistent therapeutic window for managing memory loss and behavioral symptoms.

• Enhanced Patient Comfort: Bypassing the liver and stomach reduces common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

• Easy Adherence: A simple once-daily patch replaces the need for multiple oral doses, making it easier for caregivers to manage.

• Reliable Delivery: Designed with medical-grade adhesives that stay secure during bathing, showering, or light physical activity.

Application & Caregiver Guidelines

1. Preparation: Apply to a clean, dry, and hairless area on the upper back, chest, or upper arm. Avoid areas with recent lotions, powders, or oils.

2. The "Daily Swap": Replace the patch at the same time every day. Always remove the old patch before applying a new one.

3. Rotation Protocol: To prevent skin irritation, do not use the exact same skin site for at least 14 days.

4. Firm Contact: Press the patch firmly with the palm of your hand for 30 seconds to ensure a complete and secure seal.

5. Heat Warning: Do not expose the patch to direct heat (heating pads, saunas, or prolonged hot sun), as this can cause the medication to release too quickly into the bloodstream.
