A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My brother was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s with dementia. He has been on the transdermal Rivastagmine patch for one week
He has used the same site each day and was wondering if this was okay.

Our neurologist said we should alternate arms every day.

Hi, Judi. I just checked this online because my husband with PD just started on it this week. Per the Mayo Clinic, you should not use the same spot for 14 days. So I need to find a new spot on hubby tomorrow! 😉
