Rivastigmine (Forms and Administration)
- Oral: Rivastigmine is available in capsule form and as an oral solution. The medication is typically taken twice daily with meals to reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects.
- Transdermal Patch: Rivastigmine also comes in a transdermal patch form, which is applied once daily to the skin. The patch provides a steady release of the medication over 24 hours, which can reduce the risk of side effects compared to oral forms.
