AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
EXELON (rivastigmine) is a small-molecule cholinesterase inhibitor approved for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease dementia and Parkinson's disease dementia. It works by reversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase to increase acetylcholine concentration in the brain, enhancing cholinergic function. The drug does not alter the underlying disease course and becomes less effective as neuronal loss progresses.
