Exelon® Oral Solution for Alzheimer’s Dementia

Exelon® oral solution helps treat mild to moderate dementia linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. This page explains how it works, who it may suit, and how to use it correctly. It also covers Exelon Oral Solution without insurance and supports US delivery from Canada.

What Exelon Is and How It Works

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

Exelon® contains rivastigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor. It increases acetylcholine levels in the brain by slowing its breakdown. Higher acetylcholine may support memory, attention, and daily functioning in certain types of dementia.

This medicine is taken by mouth as a liquid. It is usually given with food to improve tolerance. The treatment does not cure dementia, but it can help maintain function for some people when used as directed.

For background on conditions it treats, see Alzheimers Disease and Parkinsons Disease Dementia. You can also browse our Neurology category.

Who It’s For

Rivastigmine Oral Solution is indicated for mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type and for dementia associated with Parkinson’s disease. It may be considered when tablets are hard to swallow or when flexible dosing is needed.

People with a known allergy to rivastigmine or other carbamate derivatives should not use this therapy. Those with severe liver impairment, low body weight, active stomach ulcers, or a history of severe vomiting should discuss risks and benefits with a healthcare professional. It is not established in children.

Dosage and Usage

The standard label starts at a low dose and increases gradually, based on tolerability. The liquid is measured using the supplied oral syringe. Take doses with morning and evening meals unless your prescriber advises differently.

Rivastigmine Oral Solution liquid should be swallowed directly or mixed in a small amount of water or other allowed beverage according to the Patient Information. Always use the marked syringe for accuracy, and rinse it after use. If stomach upset occurs, your prescriber may adjust the schedule.

If uncertain about timing or titration, consult the official prescribing information and your clinician. Do not change your dose on your own.

Strengths and Forms

This product is supplied as a clear oral liquid. The typical presentation is Exelon Oral Solution 2 mg/mL in a bottle with a dosing syringe. Bottle volumes commonly available include 120 mL. Availability can vary by market and stock.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a single dose, take the next dose at the usual time. Do not double up or take extra to make up for it. If you stop taking it for more than a few days, ask your prescriber before restarting; reinitiation may require a lower dose.

Try to take doses with meals at consistent times. A daily reminder or pillbox timer can help maintain a steady routine.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store the bottle at room temperature as directed on the label. Keep the cap tightly closed, and protect it from excessive heat and moisture. Do not freeze. Always keep medicines out of reach of children and pets.

When traveling, carry the original labeled container and dosing syringe in your hand luggage. A simple note or a copy of the prescription can help with security checks. Avoid leaving the bottle in a hot car. If you transfer doses into a smaller container for a short trip, label it clearly to avoid errors.

Benefits

This treatment can support memory and daily living skills in some people with dementia. Liquid dosing allows fine adjustments during titration. The oral solution format may be easier for people who have trouble swallowing tablets. Taking it with food can improve stomach tolerance, which may help people stay on therapy.

Side Effects and Safety

• Common effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• Appetite loss and weight decrease
• Abdominal pain or indigestion
• Dizziness, headache, fatigue
• Tremor or sweating

Serious or rare risks can include severe vomiting with dehydration, slow heart rate, fainting, severe stomach pain, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Allergic reactions are possible. People weighing under 50 kg may be more susceptible to side effects. Seek urgent care for trouble breathing, chest pain, black stools, or fainting spells.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements you use. Anticholinergic drugs may be less effective when taken with this therapy. Combining with beta-blockers or other agents that slow the heart can raise the risk of bradycardia. Using NSAIDs can raise the risk of ulcers or bleeding.

Cholinomimetic effects may interact with anesthesia and neuromuscular blockers like succinylcholine. Metoclopramide may increase movement-related side effects. Alcohol can worsen dizziness or stomach upset. If you have liver or kidney problems, your prescriber may adjust your plan. Prescription required and verified.

What to Expect Over Time

Responses vary. Some people notice gradual improvements in attention or day-to-day tasks after titration. Others may experience stabilization rather than clear improvement. Benefits depend on steady use and tolerability. If side effects limit use, speak with your healthcare professional about adjustments or alternatives. This medicine does not halt disease progression but may help preserve function for some individuals over a period.

Compare With Alternatives

Memantine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, is a commonly used option for moderate to severe Alzheimer’s symptoms. See Ebixa for details. Another choice is donepezil, a once-daily cholinesterase inhibitor, available as Aricept. Your prescriber may use these alone or in combination, depending on your diagnosis and tolerability.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This therapy may be suitable for adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s dementia or Parkinson’s disease dementia who can take oral liquids with meals. It may not be appropriate for people with severe liver disease, active peptic ulcers, or a history of serious hypersensitivity. Discuss risks if you have significant weight loss or are prone to fainting.

Cost-smart steps include requesting multi-month fills when appropriate, scheduling reminder calls or emails, and aligning refills with caregiver visits. Ask if a generic rivastigmine option is suitable for your plan. Keeping a consistent meal-time schedule may improve tolerance, which can reduce wasted doses and clinic visits.
