USES OF RIVAMER CAPSULE
- Treatment of Dementia in Alzheimer's disease
- Treatment of Dementia Associated with Parkinson's disease
BENEFITS OF RIVAMER CAPSULE
In Treatment of Dementia in Alzheimer's disease
In people with Alzheimer’s disease, certain nerve cells die in the brain. This results in lower levels of a chemical called acetylcholine which helps nerve cells to communicate with each other. This leads to symptoms of dementia such as memory loss, confusion, disorientation, problems with speech and language, and personality changes. Rivamer 1.5 Capsule increases the amount of acetylcholine and helps brain cells to communicate. It can, therefore, improve some of the symptoms such as memory, awareness, and the ability to carry out daily functions for a time. However, it is not a cure. You should use the medicine exactly as prescribed. It can take several weeks for your symptoms to improve; so keep using the medicine even if you do not think it is working.

Faq for medicine:
Q: Does pilocarpine increase or decrease heart rate?
A: Pilocarpine can decrease the heart rate. However, it does not increase the heart rate

A: Pilocarpine increases blood pressure. However, no clinically relevant effect on weight has been reported with the use of pilocarpine
Q: Does pilocarpine help dry eyes?
A: Yes, pilocarpine helps dry eyes by increasing the production of tears
Q: Does pilocarpine work?
A: Pilocarpine acts by increasing the activity of chemical acetylcholine, thereby, increasing the secretion from various glands including salivary glands and tear glands. Due to its cholinergic effect, it also constricts the pupil of the eye and improves the outflow of aqueous humor (fluid in within the eye) contributing to reduction in eyeball pressure
Q: Does pilocarpine cause blurred vision/hair loss?
A: Yes, pilocarpine causes blurred vision. But it does not cause hair loss
Q: How does pilocarpine affect heart rate?
A: Pilocarpine decreases heart rate by increasing the effect of a chemical called as acetylcholine
Q: How does pilocarpine lower intraocular pressure?
A: Pilocarpine lowers intraocular pressure by constricting the ciliary muscle of the eyes, therefore increasing the outflow of fluid (aqueous humor) from posterior part of the eye.
