Agency prognoses on file range from 2026-11-12 to 2026-11-12. These are manufacturer-reported estimates and frequently move; check the linked register entry for the latest date.
10 of the active register entries indicate alternatives or equivalents (same active substance or an alternative treatment). Do not switch on your own — a pharmacist or prescriber can confirm the right substitute in your country.
Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Rivastigmina: AEMPS CIMA (Spain), AIFA (Italy). Every row on this page links to the underlying official record, and the dataset is refreshed from the primary sources every morning. Cross-language matching groups the same active substance across registers, so national spellings all resolve to this page.
