The use of Evertas (rivastigmine) patches may cause an increase in blood pressure as a side effect in some people, although this is not very common.
Rivastigmine affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems, which can lead to symptoms such as fast or uneven heartbeat and high blood pressure. If hypertension occurs while taking the drug, consult a doctor who can adjust the dose or suggest other therapeutic solutions.
Do not stop treatment on your own without consultation. Abruptly stopping the Evertas patch can lead to worsening of Alzheimer's disease symptoms because this drug increases the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, which relieves the symptoms of dementia.
