Exelon Patch Coupons
From Pharmacy Drug Guide
Exelon is prescribed to help Alzheimer's patients manage the tasks of daily living. Alzheimer's is a form of dementia, a brain disorder that affects memory, clarity of thought, communication, personality and mood, as well as the ability to perform day-to-day chores and activities. While Exelon is not a cure for Alzheimer's, and does not slow the progression of the disease, it does improve cognitive functioning and improve the quality of life for some people. Exelon works to improve mental functions such as reasoning, remembering, and thinking.[1]
Exelon Patch coupons can help make the drug more affordable. Exelon offers a free 30-day supply of the Exelon Patch to new patients, and patient assistance programs can help with further Exelon costs.

About Exelon Patch
Exelon Patch is a transdermal (through the skin) version of the prescription anti-Alzheimer's medication rivastigmine. Exelon treats Alzheimer's disease by improving mental functions like reasoning, remembering, and thinking. It does this by increasing the concentration of a naturally-occurring chemical called acetylcholine in the brain.[1]
Exelon also treats dementia in patients who have Parkinson's disease, characterized by impaired functioning and problems with memory retrieval.[3] Side effects of Exelon Patch include upset stomach, indigestion, gas, weakness, dizziness, perspiration, low energy and tremor.
