Vastigro Capsule 4.5 mg contains Rivastigmine Tartrate, a cholinesterase inhibitor used in the management of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and dementia associated with Parkinson’s disease. Rivastigmine works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, a neurotransmitter essential for memory, thinking, and reasoning. By preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, Vastigro helps improve cognitive function, daily living activities, and overall quality of life in patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

Therapeutic Class:

• Cholinesterase inhibitors

• Cognitive enhancers

Mechanism of Action:
Rivastigmine Tartrate selectively inhibits acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, enzymes responsible for the breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain. By inhibiting these enzymes, acetylcholine levels are maintained, supporting improved neuronal communication in regions affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This mechanism helps slow the progression of cognitive decline and enhances mental alertness.

• Mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease
