Which drug class does Rasagiline belong to?

Rasagiline belongs to a class of drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which work by increasing levels of certain natural substances in the brain (such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin). Parkinson's disease is thought to be caused by too little dopamine in the brain. Rasagiline is used alone or with other medications (such as levodopa) to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, helping to improve symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty moving.

Rasagiline may also help reduce periods of slow movement or stiffness. Patients need to take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by their doctor, usually once daily. The dosage is based on the patient's medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications the patient may be taking. Do not increase its dose or take it more often than prescribed; your condition will not improve faster and your risk of side effects will increase.
