Rivastigmine

A study of more than 1,000 patients with Parkinson’s disease dementia found that patients who also had orthostatic hypotension experienced greater cognitive benefits from rivastigmine compared with patients who did not.

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan designated November as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and it has been considered as such in the United States each year since.

Older patients prescribed donepezil had a higher risk for hospital admission for rhabdomyolysis than patients prescribed rivastigmine or galantamine, according to a population-based cohort study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
