Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivastigmine mini-tablets in individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Rivastigmine has received approval for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The rivastigmine mini-tablet represents an innovative drug formulation designed to address swallowing difficulties by reducing the size of the dosage form, while also minimizing gastrointestinal side effects through an optimized drug release mechanism. This multi-center, observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and patient compliance associated with rivastigmine mini-tablets in individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Assessments will be conducted at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th months of treatment.
