Is the Exelon Patch ok to use?

Due to some memory and other brain function problems (not alzheimers), my neurologist has recommended that I go on the Exelon patch.  He has put me on the lowest dose of 4.6 mg.  This is a one per day patch where the medicine is absorbed through the skin.  They do have a pill but it is too hard on the stomach.  If I can't take this to help with my brain, does anyone know what we can use?

I sure hope someone out here knows.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm no doc (amd don't play one on tv mail) but I'd say since it is absorbed thru the skin it should be ok. I use a fentanyl patch and it works great, altho I have a band. The best person to ask would be your surgeon or the pharmacist, either should be able to give you a good answer
