How to take Rasagiline

Rasagiline(Rasagiline) is used to treat Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes tremors, slowed movement and muscle stiffness. Rasagiline can be used alone or as an add-on to levodopa (another drug used for Parkinson's disease) in patients who experience "fluctuations" at the end of levodopa dosing intervals.

When rasagiline is used as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in patients not taking levodopa, patients may begin taking rasagiline at the recommended dose of 1 mg orally once daily. In patients taking levodopa, with or without other PD medications (e.g., dopamine agonists, amantadine, anticholinergics), the recommended initial dose of rasagiline is 0.5 mg once daily. If the patient tolerates a daily dose of 0.5 mg but does not achieve an adequate clinical response, the dose may be increased to 1 mg once daily. When rasagiline is used concomitantly with levodopa, a dose reduction of levodopa may be considered based on individual response.
