Exelon capsules are used to treat memory disorders associated with certain neurological diseases, particularly mild to moderate Alzheimer disease. The drug works by improving central nervous system function by increasing levels of a chemical known as acetylcholine, which is essential for improving the brain ability to cope with cognitive and memory problems.
Exelon is also used in other conditions resulting from neurological disorders, such as dementia associated with Parkinson disease. Exelon helps alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions, such as memory deterioration and difficulty concentrating or thinking.
