Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present clinical trial will be conducted in order to compare the bioavailability of rivastigmine and to assess bioequivalence at steady-state of the Test product RID-TDS 9.5 mg/24 h (Luye Pharma AG, Germany) and the marketed Reference product Exelon® 9.5 mg/24 h transdermales Pflaster (Novartis Pharma GmbH, Germany) after multiple patch application. Each of both treatments will last for 11 days with a washout period of 14 days between the treatments.
