Possible Side Effects of the Exelon Patch

Like all medicines, the Exelon Patch can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

The most common side effects were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The likelihood and severity of these side effects may increase as the dose increases. Talk to your doctor if you experience loss of appetite, weight loss, weigh less than 110 pounds or have a history of ulcer disease. People at risk for stomach ulcers who take certain medicines should tell their doctor before starting the Exelon Patch, because serious stomach problems such as bleeding may occur. People at risk for certain heart conditions should tell their doctor before starting the Exelon Patch because they may experience fainting. People with serious lung conditions and difficulty breathing, bladder problems, or seizures should consult their doctor before using the Exelon Patch therapy. People on the Exelon Patch who feel dizzy or drowsy should not drive or use machines.
