Usually, treatment with Rivastigmine is long-term. As for the product safety studies - they lasted 6 months and this period of therapy was considered safe. However, there is no data on the effect of the drug, which would be used longer, so here you should rely on the patient's reaction and the experience of the attending physician. Withdrawal may cause a recurrence of the symptoms of the disease and worsening of the patient's condition. Therefore, a possible change in the method of treatment should be decided by the doctor.
