How EXELON PATCH Can Help /


EXELON®PATCH Overview


EXELON PATCH is the first and only patch approved to treat moderate Alzheimer's dementia.

The once-daily EXELON PATCH can be applied at any time, day or night, with or without meals, as long as each patch is applied 24 hours apart.

And because you can see the patch on your loved one, you'll know he or she was given the medicine.

EXELON PATCH Uses Cutting-edge Technology to Provide a Continual Release of Medicine

Although it is ultra-thin, EXELON PATCH has 4 layers:




The first layer is the outer shell that holds the other layers together
The second layer contains the medicine
The third layer is an adhesive
The fourth layer is the release liner. This liner is removed when you apply the patch.
The four layers that make up the Exelon Patch


EXELON PATCH provides a continual release of medicine. Since it's a patch instead of a pill, you can see that the medicine was given.

A medicine you can see.
