✅ Description:
Rivastigmine, a carbamate derivative structurally related to physostigmine, works by reversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, enzymes that degrade acetylcholine. This action increases acetylcholine levels at synapses, enhancing cholinergic transmission in the brain. Rivastigmine shows greater selectivity for central (brain) cholinesterase over peripheral forms, improving cognitive symptoms associated with dementia.
