CONSUMER INFORMATION
Rivastigmine Tartrate CAS Registry Number 129101-54-8

Rivastigmine Tartrate often causes nausea and vomiting, especially at the beginning of treatment. The problem is more likely in women, but it can lead to significant weight loss in both women and men. Tell your doctor immediately if these side effects occur.

The chance of severe vomiting increases when Rivastigmine Tartrate is given after an interruption of several days. Do not start giving the drug again without first checking with the doctor. Dosage may need to be reduced to the lowest starting level.

Rivastigmine Tartrate may aggravate asthma and other breathing problems and can increase the risk of seizures. Other drugs of its type are also known to increase the chance of ulcers, stomach bleeding, and urinary obstruction, although these problems have not been noted with Rivastigmine Tartrate. Drugs in this category can also slow the heartbeat, possibly causing fainting in people who have a heart condition. Contact your doctor if any of these problems occur.

Rivastigmine Tartrate has not been tested in children.

USES: Rivastigmine is used to treat mild to moderate confusion (dementia) related to Alzheimer's disease. It is also used to treat mild to moderate confusion (dementia) related to Parkinson's disease. Rivastigmine does not cure either of these diseases, but it may improve memory, awareness, and the ability to perform daily functions. This medication works by restoring the balance of natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth with food, usually twice daily in the morning and evening or as directed by your doctor. In order to minimize nausea and vomiting, your dosage will be gradually increased to your target dose. Your dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Do not take more than the maximum recommended dose of 12 milligrams per day.

SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, diarrhea, weakness, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and shakiness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

PRECAUTIONS: Before taking rivastigmine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: stomach/intestinal problems (e.g., ulcers, bleeding), heart problems (e.g., sick sinus syndrome, conduction disorders), breathing/lung problems (e.g., asthma, COPD-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), seizures, problems urinating (e.g., due to enlarged prostate).

MISSED DOSE: If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
