Exelon, the new Alzheimer's drug from Novartis is about to hit the streets. My Novartis rep was in today, telling me that I can now write for the drug. This drug will be used for the elderly patient with dementia. Because it increases cognitive function and increases the patient's ability to function in activities of daily living, there is a pressing need for such a drug. The main competitor, Aricept, has been the only drug available in this category until now. From initial marketing data, Exelon may be an improvement over Aricept.

I started using the drug today for the first time. It will be several months to titrate dose up to the maximum levels allowed. I await the clinical response for my patients.
