Rivastigmine is a medicine used to treat dementia associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Available in capsule form (1.5 mg, 3 mg, 4.5 mg, and 6 mg), it works by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain, improving memory, cognition, and daily functioning. The typical starting dose is 1.5 mg two times daily, with meals.

However, common side effects include nausea, dizziness & stomach discomfort. Rivastigmine should be taken with food to minimize side effects and stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. If you want to order Rivastigmine online, obtain a prescription from your doctor.

How It Works

Rivastigmine helps the brain by increasing the levels of a chemical called acetylcholine, which is essential for memory and cognitive function. Normally, this chemical gets broken down too quickly in people with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s-related dementia. Rivastigmine slows down this breakdown, allowing brain cells to communicate more effectively with each other.

  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Headache
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Indigestion or stomach discomfort

Serious side effects (rare) of Rivastigmine capsules are:

  • Seizures or convulsions
  • Slow or irregular heartbeat
  • Fainting or lightheadedness
  • Severe stomach pain or vomiting blood
  • Black or tarry stools (possible GI bleeding)
  • Trouble urinating or urinary retention
  • Uncontrolled movements
  • Severe allergic reactions
  • Skin reactions

Note: Contact your healthcare provider or doctor if you experience any serious symptoms or unusual changes.

Warnings

Consider the following warnings when you order Rivastigmine from Canada:

  • Allergy Warning: Do not take Rivastigmine capsules if you're allergic to Rivastigmine, carbamates, or any ingredient in the capsule. Also, avoid them if you've had serious skin reactions to the Rivastigmine capsule, as this may signal a broader sensitivity.
  • Gastrointestinal Effects: This medicine can cause nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which may lead to dehydration or weight loss, especially in older adults. If these symptoms are severe, your doctor may need to adjust or stop the medication.
  • Heart Risks: Rivastigmine may slow your heart rate or cause fainting. People with heart conditions or those taking medications that affect heart rhythm should use it cautiously and under close medical supervision.
  • Seizure Risk: Although rare, Rivastigmine may trigger seizures. If you have a history of seizures, your doctor will carefully assess the risks before prescribing this medication.
  • Urinary and Breathing Issues: This medicine may worsen urination problems or lung conditions like asthma or COPD. Let your doctor know if you have trouble breathing or emptying your bladder before starting treatment.
  • Skin Reactions: Although these capsules are taken orally, some individuals may still experience skin rashes or allergic reactions. If you notice swelling, itching, or redness, stop the medication and contact your doctor.
Safety Guide

If you plan to order Rivastigmine from Canada, follow these precautionary guidelines:

  • Surgery and Anesthesia: Tell your doctor or dentist that you're taking Rivastigmine before any surgery or dental procedure, as it may interact with certain anesthetics or medications used during treatment.
  • Take With Food: Rivastigmine capsules should be taken with meals to reduce common gastrointestinal side effects such as vomiting and nausea. Consistency in timing helps maintain stable drug levels in your body.
  • Activities Requiring Alertness: This medication may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or fainting. Avoid operating heavy machinery, driving, or performing tasks that require full alertness until you know how Rivastigmine affects you.
  • Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol may intensify side effects like dizziness or stomach upset. It’s best to limit or avoid alcohol while taking Rivastigmine capsules.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Precautions: Rivastigmine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed, as its safety in humans isn’t fully known. During breastfeeding, it's best to avoid the medicine because it may pass into the milk and affect the baby. Always consult your doctor before using it in these situations.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Rivastigmine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed Rivastigmine dose and continue with your daily schedule. Never take a double dose of Rivastigmine to make up for a missed one. If you’ve missed doses for more than a few days, consult your doctor before restarting.

Overdose

Taking too much Rivastigmine can lead to serious symptoms such as severe nausea, seizures, vomiting, slow heartbeat, sweating, fainting, or trouble breathing. You can also contact a poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 if a Rivastigmine overdose is suspected.
