Exelon is used to treat certain memory-related disorders and mental decline. It is a primary treatment option for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and dementia associated with Parkinson's disease. This medication works by improving nerve cell communication in the brain, which helps enhance cognitive function and reduce symptoms of mental decline. Its primary role is to support patients who lose the ability to remember everyday events or who find it increasingly difficult to perform daily activities due to memory or concentration impairment resulting from these conditions.
Exelon helps improve symptoms by increasing levels of certain brain chemicals that play an important role in learning and memory.
