Abstract :
AIM: To investigate whether 1-step titration of the rivastigmine patch (initiated at 5 cm(2) and titrated to 10 cm(2) after 4 weeks) is well tolerated in Japanese patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) as compared to 3-step titration (initiated at 2.5 cm(2) and titrated by 2.5 cm(2) every 4 weeks to 10 cm(2)). |
