Can Rivastigmine Be Taken While Suffering From Ulcerative Colitis?

Yes, I have been prescribed (4.6) MG. RIVASTIGMINE patch. I was taking Donezepil for a month but stopped because i had bad stomach pains that triggered a (UC) ulcerative colitis which I am recooperating from now. I occasionally get a flare up. I am very concerned about taking this med with my UC.

Hello,

It has less chance to cause you stomach discomfort. You can use the patch if some unwanted side effects are there then you must stop it at once and contact with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
