Rasagiline 1mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Rasagiline 1mg is a monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor used to treat Parkinson's disease, either alone or with levodopa. It helps improve movement symptoms and may reduce wearing-off time between levodopa doses.

How to use

Take once daily with or without food at a consistent time. When added to levodopa, increased involuntary movements or hallucinations may require adjustment of the accompanying Parkinson regimen.

How it works

Rasagiline selectively inhibits MAO-B, slowing dopamine breakdown in the brain and extending dopamine availability for movement control.

Side effects

Headache, dizziness, nausea, postural hypotension and, with levodopa, dyskinesia can occur. Severe headache, agitation with fever or significant behavioural changes require prompt assessment.

Important information

MAO inhibitors, certain opioids, dextromethorphan and serotonergic antidepressants can cause serious interactions. Ciprofloxacin can raise rasagiline exposure. Liver impairment affects suitability. Dopamine-related impulse-control changes should be reported.
