About Rivazin 1.5mg Tablet

Rivazin 1.5mg Tablet used to treat mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder which causes dementia (memory loss) and slowly destroys the ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities.
