My husband has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Dementia. His neurologist has asked his GP to prescribe rivastigmine patches to see if they will help but we are having difficulty getting a prescription for them from our normally very good GP practice. I’m not sure if this just a mix-up or a known issue. Does anyone else use the patches? Has there been an issue as I know they are more expensive than the capsules? Our own GP appears to be away so I have contacted the practice pharmacy team asking for clarification.
