Product Introduction:
Rasagiline, marketed under the brand name Azilect, is a medication used to treat Parkinson’s disease. It is a selective irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) enzyme, which helps to increase the levels of dopamine in the brain, thereby improving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Uses:
Rasagiline is primarily used as a monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of motor function, tremors, rigidity, and difficulty with movement.
Benefits:
The benefits of rasagiline include improvement in motor symptoms, reduction in the frequency of “off” periods (times when medication’s effectiveness wears off and symptoms reappear), and potential slowing of disease progression.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of rasagiline may include headache, joint pain, indigestion, depression, flu-like symptoms, and dizziness. Less common but more severe side effects may include hallucinations, orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure upon standing), and serotonin syndrome (particularly when combined with certain antidepressants). It is essential to report any unusual symptoms to a healthcare provider promptly.
Safety Advice:
- Take rasagiline exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
- Do not stop taking rasagiline suddenly without consulting a doctor.
- Inform healthcare providers about all medications, supplements, and herbal products being taken, as certain drugs may interact with rasagiline.
- Avoid consuming foods high in tyramine (e.g., aged cheese, cured meats) while taking rasagiline, as it may lead to a dangerous increase in blood pressure.
- Inform healthcare providers if planning to undergo surgery, as rasagiline may interact with anesthesia and other medications used during the procedure.
Interaction with Drugs:
Rasagiline may interact with several drugs, including but not limited to:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome.
- Meperidine and other opioid medications, potentially leading to severe reactions such as hallucinations and seizures.
- Certain antidepressants, antihistamines, decongestants, and cough medicines containing sympathomimetic agents, which may increase the risk of hypertensive crisis (a severe increase in blood pressure).
